We are a debtor Nation, $34 trillion in the hole, and the liberal fallacy and fantasy that somehow this is a net financial positive for this country is just that, it is patently absurd.

Due process does not mean anything if the final decision of the court is not executed.

People who say that the border is not in crisis, I tell you this.

This Administration comes up with what they call lawful pathways, which I think are illegal.

So in the 5 minutes we have remaining, now, Mr. Crane is new here, so maybe he is excited to vote to continue that. I don't think he is, but that is between him and his constituents. Mr. Good was here not this last Christmas last month but…

People don't know that, Mr. Biggs from Arizona, but there is a golf course right on the river at Eagle Pass, Texas. While people are coming illegally across the border, you could be teeing off or on the green trying to get one in the cup…

That is right. In the remaining 1\1/2\ minutes, I will kind of end this where I started it out for all of us. We have got friends on the other side of the aisle here in this building, friends in the other party around the country in charge…

Well, I was around when that agency was enacted, and there was a reason we called it that. It was supposed to help all the disparate agencies collaborate toward one singular focus, which was protecting America.

I think my good friend from Arizona has to explain what the CBP One app is? What is that?

You are telling me I have got an app on my phone where I can make a reservation to come illegally into the country, and I am making the reservation with the law enforcement agency charged with keeping me out of the country illegally?

In the 4 minutes we have left, I am standing with great American patriots here that have decided to serve in Congress, do the right thing no matter what Washington, D.C., tells them. It seems to me--I don't know, maybe I am cynical, maybe…

In Washington, every time that you think you have seen it all and heard it all, you couldn't be surprised, amazed, disappointed, what have you, more than you already are, but it never fails to deliver. I am going to talk about a few things…

My good friend from Virginia, I know you were there and talked to some of the folks, regular residents, not Border Patrol, not law enforcement, just people trying to get through their day as American citizens. I talked to a husband and…

The U.S. Government--your tax dollars--is paying for the cuts in the fence that Mr. Biggs from Arizona is talking about. These people, citizens of the United States who are taxpayers depending upon their government to protect them from…

I want to tell a story about getting on the plane in San Antone to come home. Before I do that, we are joined by the great Eli Crane from the State of Arizona, out of that uniform and into this uniform, fighting for the great people of…

It certainly is an astounding eventuality that we are realizing, and we also know that the Border Patrol wants to do its job. I firmly believe that 99.9 percent of the good members of Customs and Border Protection want to do their job…

I disagree. They do know there is, but they want to deny that there is to the American people. They want these people to keep coming illegally in the numbers that they have been and will continue to come, and every policy that they support…

Well, Mr. Biggs of Texas, I am glad you brought that up. Now, on my trip home, I went to the airport in San Antonio. It was early in the morning. People are around, but, you know, we know what to look for because we have heard the stories…

I do not believe that forever--I sure hope Mr. Garcia is not right--forever we are in a position in which we define people by where their great-grandparents come from.

It was not a military defeat. It was people like Walter Cronkite and other leftists and political activists in the United States of America that imposed that defeat.

Diversity is a strength if we are all pointing in the same direction. Otherwise, it is not a strength.

That is ridiculous and it is scary, and it is absurd, and I wish more people would say it.

Let me tell you. I am not willing to do a damn thing right now to help a Democrat or to help Joe Biden's approval ratings.

We all know it is Christmas and you can sure tell because here we go with the ornaments. We have got a Christmas tree headed out, and we have got to put some ornaments on it. That is what is happening right now. Of course, we are going to…

The pending measure is on the suspension of the rules for H.R. 2670. The SPEAKER pro tempore. There is no measure pending at this time. Parliamentary Inquiry
