Folks back home in Pennsylvania didn't send me to Washington to watch their tax dollars wasted on ineffective programs.

I literally have three places to be at one time, and I think most of us are the same way.

DHS must secure the homeland efficiently and effectively.

We must hold the Department accountable to the highest standards given that our National debt is over $18 trillion.

It is the attorney general because he refuses to prosecute them.

I thank Mr. Loudermilk for putting this together this evening. Mr. Speaker, I was thinking about the situation we are in, and it came to my mind that there is a reason that the legislature is supposed to make the laws. There is a reason…

We want to make sure that we get all the information out about this. As I said, the GAO's best estimate, I think, is about 56 percent of the border is not secured. Another thing to mention about this bill is that we are looking for 100…

Absolutely. I want to also extend my appreciation to you for bringing up this important issue. I think this is going to kind of be a continuing conversation, at least for the next couple weeks, as we move forward into bringing this…

Yes. I have flown on the Arizona border down there. I have crossed the border in Nogales, and I have been privileged to be there. America is not where it needs to be on this. The Congress is, but we need to pass a bill, and we need the…

I find that fascinating in the context of these folks, the Iranians in particular, that have obfuscated.

I wish to remind everybody about a real-life story of being outnumbered 10 to 1, a story of courage, will, discipline, suffering, immense sacrifice, and success, a tale of two great militaries, surprise, weather, overwhelming force, and…

``In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a State shall be party, the supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all other cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I also am proud to cosponsor this bill and thank the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Young) for his hard work on it. I think it is fascinating that we hear from my colleagues from the other side that they are…

I see this as, you know, they hope--or we hope--we hoped they wouldn't go into Ukraine, and we hoped they wouldn't shut off the gas valve, and we hoped a lot of things, but they took action, and we continue to hope.

the flexibility that we have seen recently in the administration is more borne out of events in Iraq than events and facts on the ground in Afghanistan.

I would just urge the State Department and the administration to take the advice of the military planners in this regard based on the facts as opposed to the political considerations.

The day following the announcement of a 7- month extension to nuclear talks, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, did a victory lap. He said, ``In the nuclear issue, America and colonial European countries got together and did their…

I call attention to the bravery exhibited during the Civil War by Private John Sipe during the Battle of Fort Stedman. In addition, I recognize and commend the tireless efforts by his great-grandson, Mr. Reuben Troutman, a constituent of…

I have no confidence and I don't think the American people have any confidence that that is going to work.

Is there a forged document system present in some form around the border, where people that would come here illegally obtain Social Security numbers and other documents?

I thank Chairman Royce for this legislation, and I offer my strongest support because, if nothing else, it reminds us of what the Iranian regime really is at its foundational core, what its essence is. With much of today's focus on the…

Today is an important anniversary. On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Prior to this famous address, Lincoln arrived at the Gettysburg train station. Earlier this year, the House passed my bill…
