I come from Scranton, Pennsylvania, birthplace of Joe Biden, and I am going to be reporting back to Vice President Biden about the work you have done to stand up.

I think the focus does have to be where it is today on these nations that are recalcitrant in taking back these illegals that committed crimes in the United States.

I take protecting the safety and security of American citizens as my most solemn duty as a Member of Congress.

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 Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment No. 28 Offered by Mr. Becerra The Acting CHAIR. It…

I thank my colleague from New York for those important words. Either we protect our children from lead paint or we don't. Mr. Chairman, I don't think anybody here would want to live in a home or send their children to a school that was…

Overall, the plan would represent an enormous step backward for our country, reversing historic progress in expanding health coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

I also think we need to seriously talk about finally adequately funding IHS, which includes exempting IHS and its programs from sequestration.

The fact is that we need to start talking about permanent solutions that comprehensively address the long-standing issues at IHS.

I want to thank our colleague, Rep. Noem, for shining a light on the concerns at IHS, and bringing this legislation forward.
