What kind of basis is this for a serious investigation?

We in New York City are incredibly proud of the efforts that the city is making to welcome and support migrants who are escaping horrific conditions in their own countries to seek the American Dream.

I would just make a strong, strong plea to recognize that those cities who have welcomed, supported, provided shelter, housing, health care, vaccines, shots, and assistance in making sure that those seeking a better life are able to do…

I would ask you, as the administrator for FEMA, to stop reimbursing those towns who are bussing migrants against their will.

I want to focus a little bit on Ukraine and the money that the U.S. Congress has appropriated to support our democratic ally against an illegal, unwarranted, and global altering war of aggression by an authoritarian dictator, Vladimir…

I am concerned that FEMA is reimbursing cities, towns, localities on the Southern Border who are shipping migrants to New York City against--potentially against their will.

I want to briefly address some of the comments that you did not have an opportunity to respond to from my distinguished colleague from Oklahoma about the impact of climate change on natural disasters around the country and around the world.

It is my view, as a former lawyer, I guess current lawyer, that the migrant crisis is a threat to public health and safety in New York City and that an emergency declaration--that it would qualify for an emergency declaration under the…

What else can we do as Members of Congress to strengthen your hand to stop the flow of the profits?

I hope my colleagues across the aisle will continue to join me in calling for responsible action, like expanding these transnational criminal investigative units and putting more resources toward our ports of entry, instead of throwing…

Unions and prevailing wage has been principally responsible for expanding the middle class in this country.

I think it is shameful that the Republicans on the other side of the aisle are effectively taking the side of Vladimir Putin against the democracy in Ukraine.

It especially makes no sense when we cannot foresee what exactly will happen in the brutal attack, violating all sorts of international law, by the dictatorial regime under Vladimir Putin against a democracy next door to it.

You are handcuffing our ability to support Ukraine against a brutal, dangerous, unwarranted, unprovoked, and wholly improper attack by a dictatorial regime.

If you do not have a prevailing wage, what you find is the opportunity to abuse the workers.

The fact that this bill would potentially and almost automatically limit FEMA's resources undermines the important work it does.

You rail and my colleagues on the other side frequently rail against wanton and excessive spending.

It is not a blank check. It is a check that has already been authorized by Congress that the Administration has the discretion to use as it sees fit.

This is an American issue.

One of my colleagues said that we will hold Members accountable. The Republicans are the party of George Santos. Whom are they holding accountable? The guy is an alleged and acknowledged liar and indicted, and the Republicans protect him…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from Maryland for yielding. Boy, is Adam Schiff powerful. He can, at once, be the chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the special counsel investigating Donald Trump, manage and…

I certainly hope my colleague from Arizona will look to reduce our deficit by examining our $860 billion defense budget.

I expect that today Republicans will try to rewrite the history of the Trump administration and its border security and immigration policies.

These policies were not only terribly cruel, but also incredibly ineffective.

It's about House Republican leadership catering to its most extreme MAGA Members, who want to impeach someone--anyone at all.
