We need to pass this bipartisan bill. As you know, I’m a member of the problem solvers caucus, was instrumental in helping craft the framework on which that was based.

We are a nation of laws and immigrants.

Let me quickly raise the point that we should refrain from these kinds of accusatory attacks against migrants.

I think the narrative about immigration is so wrong. First of all, the Southern Border is 1,954 miles, it is not out of control.

I would prefer to have that in writing to the committee and directed to me as well.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, for your leadership on this very crucial issue.

The climate today is a result of the big lie which I said on the floor of the House, the insurrection on January 6.

My question is, is there anyone that believes in a democratic republic among my friends who happened to be Republicans?

Absolutely. In fact, what words can I use, shameful, sinful?

Voting rights was worth getting arrested for.

This floor belongs to the American people. This floor is a floor, as John Lewis has often challenged us, that calls upon us to be courageous. H.R.4 is going to save the day, not partisan, but it is going to make us a democratic republic…

I fear the restricting that will be coming up in Texas.

I want to thank them personally on the record for this.

We must get into good trouble. Today, I wear his pin that exemplifies and recognizes his spirit in this room today.

The current conservative Supreme Court that we now have, the current majority has simply never understood or refuses to accept the fundamental importance of the right to vote, free of discriminatory hurdles and obstacles.

Were it not for the 24th amendment, I believe this conservative majority on the court would subject poll taxes and literacy tests to the review standard enunciated in Brnovich.

So, we urge Congress to lean on and use its broad enforcement powers to ensure access to the ballot box.

The Shelby County case impaired the ability of the DOJ to employ Federal observers, having relegated us to using local observers.

It is not about race. It is about voting rights.

I believe that this is more crucial than ever before.

We have to be at the forefront of stamping out the big lie.

We need to be bold and loud on our moment in history.

We are the standard-bearers for the values of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, creating all of us with certain inalienable rights.

I will never stop fighting for voting rights. The time is now to move the voting rights bill in the U.S. Senate forward. Enough is enough.

The Cybersecurity Vulnerability Remediation Act (H.R. 2980) introduced by Rep. Jackson Lee will allow the Department of Homeland Security to continue mitigating cybersecurity weaknesses that exist due to insufficient software or hardware.
