My own view, and I think it is widely shared, is that in the long term, true and effective border security isn't going to be achieved, even with all the money we might throw at it, without comprehensive immigration reform.

Eight years does seem like a very long timeline, or is that not unusual for icebreakers?

It is 2016 and we cannot manage fresh water in the Great Lakes.

I happen to represent the largest watershed in the Great Lakes, it extends over three states...

I just want to say over the weekend I spent time in Flint, Michigan...

if this Committee does not produce something that is bipartisan, then game over.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following new title: TITLE VI--HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS…

I thank my colleague. I rise in strong opposition to this deeply misguided legislation. Reports from international experts, nuclear watchdogs, and representatives of our international coalition make clear that Iran is on its way to fully…

I urge my colleagues to support this omnibus bill. It will provide funding certainty for the balance of the fiscal year. It casts off the deeply misguided sequester caps that have crippled our appropriations process and also gets rid of…
