Chuck Schumer

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it a crisis that does not exist.

The founders of our Nation, the American people today know, that religious freedom is no luxury but is a basic right of a free people. RFRA restores the First Amendment to its proper place as one of the cornerstones of our democracy.

I'm concerned the administration, in his words, will bumble into war.

There have been documented media reports that terrorist groups are calling on followers to blend in with migrants.

Today we have the opportunity to hear more about the National security aspect of this crisis at the border.

Worsening this crisis, my colleagues across the aisle have zeroed out funding for additional Border Patrol agents.

This fuels the cartel propaganda that if you step foot on U.S. soil, you can stay.

Unfortunately, our Majority had denied the House multiple opportunities to fund the needed supplemental humanitarian assistance.

The situation at the Southwest Border is beyond a crisis.

Will my colleague kindly yield the floor before I leave? I agree with the first half of his sentence. Joint Resolution of Disapproval

Let me thank my dear friend, the senior Senator from Illinois, for the passion, persistence, and intelligence he shows on behalf of the Dreamers, who simply want to be Americans, who have shown their part of the American dream, and whom we…

There were investigations going on three weeks ago when we met and he still met with us. But now that he was forced to actually say how he'd pay for it, he had to run away.

I thank my colleague Senator Casey for, as usual, his thoughtful, erudite, on-the-money remarks--this time about judges. I am going to talk about that in a minute. We see something happening here. We see State after State trying to repeal…

What a stunning indictment of the Attorney General, whose principal job in all of this was to make sure--to make sure--that he wasn't mischaracterizing or spinning results. This letter shows what an awful, awful Attorney General Mr. Barr…

I have every confidence that if my friend from Georgia were running the Senate, we wouldn't be in this pickle. I yield to him. H.R. 268

Mr. Barr's public record of bias against the special counsel's inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report.

My friend from Wyoming said I said: ``Bring on the vote on the Green New Deal.'' I did, not because I think it is a smart thing to do--it is a stunt--but it will finally get us to talk about climate change, something the other side has not…

Would my friend from Wyoming, who mentioned my name, yield for a question or three?

Mr. Barr's public record of bias against the special counsel's inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report.

We don't want the White House and the president to have a sneak preview before it goes to Congress.

Can you ask them to not repeat the same talking points about what they are against and finally say something about what they are for?

And I would ask my colleague to ask our Republican friends--if they have an answer to any of those questions, to yield the floor to them.

And C, do they have any plan, proposal, suggestion as to how we deal with the issue?

Second, do any of our Republican colleagues over there believe it is caused by human activity?

Finally, we have not heard a single answer from any of the Senators on the floor or any who spoke about what their plan is. So I would ask you to repeat and ask them three questions that they still haven't answered--simple questions with…
