I had not intended to speak, but the careful mask of bipartisanship seems to have faltered here at the last, with the majority leader's attacks on the minority leader, who has not spoken, and the minority leader in the Senate for comments…

So, to the extent we are intensifying demands on those resources, we are worsening that strain.

I believe that the current crisis has been unnecessarily caused or accelerated by misguided policies.

So, if we are sending $4 billion to try to change what hasn't been done by these nations abroad, do you believe this $4 billion could be useful in the United States to try to ameliorate the problems here?

I do not fault those who seek a better life for their families, but the current administration's rhetoric and policies also encourage thousands of migrants to put themselves... in danger.

It just seems to me more plausible that governments are formed, societies that become successful, do so by their own internal decisions.

The actions taken by the administration in the first days of office have helped accelerate the crisis we are seeing today.

Isn't it important that American policies be decidedly organized to deter, you know, not to enable that practice?

Those folks just build higher walls and hire more private security to protect them from their own population.

My belief is that President Biden has a good idea to fund a plan to help stabilize Central America, and possibly to help other countries as well.

So now, regardless of what happens to me, I believe the good samaritan asked the question, what is going to happen to that person if I don't help, not what is going to happen to me if I try to help.

The administration's failure to properly address the border crisis endangers our Republic.

Criminal cartels are profiting greatly from this administration's policies.

I think what is remarkable is that we think about, you know, we are sometimes sitting in a place of judgment and really trying to put ourselves in their shoes, how difficult that must be.

172,331 border patrol apprehensions in March, a 233 percent increase in fentanyl seized, the worst crisis in 15 years, but more than that, no peak in sight. President Biden and the Democratic majority bury their heads in the sand. They…

Requiring an ID to vote is just simple American responsibility.

It appears clear that the Biden administration violated the Impoundment Control Act in taking this action.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in support of my legislation, the 504 Credit Risk Management Improvement Act of 2021. As you may remember, this exact bill passed unanimously last December, and I hope the commonsense measure can…

Today, I rise to honor Dorothy Williams Moore on the occasion of her 100th birthday. Dorothy was born in Hamptonville, North Carolina. She graduated from Catawba College, class of 1942, majoring in home economics. On March 20, 1946, she…

The American people are a generous people, instinctively drawn to the idea of amnesty. It is a fine word, ``amnesty.'' It means a general pardon for offenses, an act of forgiveness for past offenses. Of course, in the immigration arena…

Today, I rise to observe the recent, almost simultaneous, passing of three prominent members of the Lumbee Tribe and the citizens of Robeson County, North Carolina: Mr. Lycurous Lowry, Mr. Paul Brooks, Sr., and Mr. Wyvis Oxendine. These…

I thank the gentleman from Texas, my friend, Mr. Arrington, for hosting this Special Order, it is an extraordinarily important topic. Here is another angle on it. Tomorrow, on the floor of this House, Democrats will pass two mass amnesty…

Are you aware of reports that 4 individuals on the terror watch list have been apprehended at the border recently?

We are not saying don't come; we are saying don't come now.

What was this administration and the President thinking?
