Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.J. Res. 39. We are here today because the Biden administration is hell-bent on making the United States energy dependent upon China. They are hell- bent on signing this Nation's death warrant. In pursuit of everything green, the Biden administration has given a free pass for Chinese solar imports to flow into this country by all means, using an emergency proclamation. The last time a President used an emergency proclamation was for lumber in 1946 when American World War II veterans were returning home and needed homes. Today, Mr. Biden, or whoever is running the White House, is using it to waive tariffs on Chinese solar panels coming through Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam for 2 years. Helping war heroes is an emergency, but speeding up total dependence on our greatest adversary is another. It is an absolute abuse of executive power. It is helping our greatest adversary take control of this country. Why on God's green Earth are we handing this Nation's keys to the nation of China? Chinese producers and the CCP are taking advantage of this system to circumnavigate the tariffs. They are cheating. Don't just take my word. Take the President's own Department of Commerce who determined that this would happen, even before President Biden did his emergency proclamation. This is simply un-American and a crystal clear abuse of emergency power by this American President.…
