Mike Lawler

Apparently, my colleagues seem to think that the number of hearings we hold translates to actual legislation passing.

Mr. Lawler. I put one forward. The Dignity Act is a bipartisan bill, introduced by Republicans and Democrats, the first bipartisan immigration bill in over a decade.

If we know New York City is buckling under the pressure, if we know Eric Adams is saying it's going to cost us $12 billion over the next 3 years, if we know Kathy Hochul is saying we can't sustain this...

Why would we continue to allow fentanyl to pour into our communities? Last year, fentanyl killed 70,000 Americans, most of it coming from Mexico.

I can't imagine that you think having over 100,000 migrants living in hotels, shelters, in New York City is a good thing, that not having work authorization is a good thing.

Of all the lies that George Santos told, two are the most jarring: that his mother perished in 9/11--was in the building, got cancer from 9/11, or that his parents or grandparents fled the Holocaust. In both instances, Mr. Santos used…

We have a migrant crisis in this country, one that has exploded under the current Administration.

We saw news reports that Hamas would not release a 10-month-old baby and, in fact, was turning that baby over to another terrorist organization. That is the type of people, if you can even call them that, who you are dealing with. The…

Government shouldn't be picking winners and losers like that.

We have serious concerns about how you are ensuring the cost of regulations and other CFPB actions do not outweigh any potential benefit

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Director, thanks for being here today, and you are here today at a time of significant economic concern, as concern continues over inflation, rising interest rates, and families struggling with expenses.

Are there instances where you could see low- and middle-income consumers being harmed by an overly-aggressive CFPB regulatory regime?

Do you see that happening now at the CFPB?

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 83, line 24, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $100,000,000)''. Page 84, line 5, after…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York will be postponed. Amendment No. 115 Offered by Mr. Massie The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, line 13, after the first dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''. Page 54, line 2, after…

I noticed a comment letter from Professor Boyd from VCU in the predictive data analytics proposal.

Can you describe the challenges that disaster-prone communities face in rebuilding, such as the demand for materials and labor as part of the construction supply chain, and how do you factor these into premiums paid by consumers?

The only thing she forgot to mention was Trump guns, and abortion, and maybe some anti-Israel bigotry for good measure.

Women, children, babies slaughtered. The worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Israel has a right to exist, a right to defend itself. We have Members in this body that do not believe that. We have Members in this body that cannot…

Certainly, what we have witnessed in the last few years is an unholy alliance between Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea.

Get tough on Iran, block the financing, and if You're worried about the impact on global energy markets, my gosh, vote for Republicans' bill to increase energy production in the United States.

It makes absolutely zero sense. I guess climate change only applies to American energy but it doesn't apply to Iranian energy.

Stop blocking the Keystone XL Pipeline. Stop blocking licenses for oil and gas producers in the United States.

This is a moment to stand side by side with our allies in Israel, not to go soft on the very sponsors and enablers of these heinous war crimes against humanity.
