So what are your ranges of cost estimates?

Have you taken into account, outside of the personnel, the cost for construction of a barrier different than the wire and fence that you are presently working on?

Is this the most cost-effective way of putting up a barrier?

Thank you. And certainly for the report which went to each of the offices dated January 2019, so there are some very positive things in there, but there are certainly some challenges, still very new and you pointed that out.

I am here to speak about the need to protect Social Security. Last year, the Republicans passed an expensive tax scam that gave 83 percent of the benefits to the top 1 percent. This and the new tax scam 2.0 will add trillions to our…

It is my honor to welcome our guest chaplain, Rabbi Aaron Krupnick of Congregation Beth El in Voorhees, New Jersey. The congregation has been part of our South Jersey community since 1920, when it was originally founded in Camden City. Now…

There is no situation that I can think of where a secret ballot election should be removed from any worker in any situation in any union organizing drive, period.

It is outrageous and embarrassing that any worker has to fight for a secret-ballot election.

March 5, the President's self-imposed deadline, has come and gone, and there is still no solution for Dreamers. We know them as Dreamers. The President knows them as human bargaining chips. They make up the fabric of our country. They sit…

Thank you, Chairman and Chairman, for holding this hearing, and certainly the ranking members.

I ask Members to really look inside yourself. Is this the best way to treat employees? Is this how we help lift up all of those workers? I think not, and I urge Members to reject this attempt to hurt workers and not protect sovereignty.

We want to respect the sovereign nations, but we can't pick and choose the way we treat them. Certainly, everybody who works in this great country deserves an opportunity to be treated fairly. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a letter…

The land of opportunity is right here. It is called the United States of America. But, unfortunately, there is not always a level playing field when it comes to that land of opportunity. This year is the 83rd anniversary of the National…

Show me where that world is. I think we'll all move there.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member, for putting this committee hearing together...

I would assume you expect, if you're going to get tax credit, which means taxpayers' money, they have a right to understand what this is being used for.

I think we'd rather have both, quite frankly, but we understand that balance.

I was a single dad. It was tough. I had help from my parents and was able to do it...

The cost of doing nothing is unacceptable.

The cost of doing nothing.

You told me it would not save the pension plan. So let's remind that just extends life support for a very short period of time.

This isn't a red issue, this is not a blue issue, this is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It's an American retirement security issue.

So the cost of inaction here is the issue that we're dealing with.

I am here to speak about the Republican's billionaires-first tax bill. Mr. Speaker, the Tax Policy Center determined they will raise taxes for approximately 38 million middle class households. Americans agree that we need more jobs, higher…

I include in the Record two letters of opposition, one from the North America's Building Trades Unions, and one from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. North America's Building Trades Unions, Washington, DC…
