Our recent focus on domestic terrorism is important, but we cannot let the Department, or this committee, lose sight of the serious and on-going threat from foreign terrorists.

Unfortunately, since Democrats took the majority, we haven't had a single full committee oversight hearing focused on the threat from foreign terrorists.

Congress has a job to ensure that veterans and servicemembers have access to comprehensive health care.

Representative Walorski's thoughtful bill would allow veterans to be reimbursed for travel outside their Veterans Integrated Service Network.

I am very proud to co-sponsor the PAWS Act of 2019 that allocates a grant program to private entities for service dogs.

I hope you will consider some of the following bipartisan proposals.

It's my hope we can work together to move this bill to the House floor soon.

We are seeking $100 million in damages for her death. A Border Patrol agent shot her while she was hiding in a ravine.

Their presence adds to the overall false narrative of a crisis and threat of an invasion at our border, which is simply not true.

So we needed to pierce that hatred, that kind of nationalism on the part of white nationalists and others.

They were actually trying to displace longstanding Mexican-American communities that had formally been a part of Mexico.

If you step on the soil of the United States, they should be respected for those rights.

Through education, accountability, and swift action by Congress, we can take steps towards ending these systemic acts of violence in our communities.

The administration's inhumane treatment of migrants must be viewed in the context of broader problems deep within the culture of our immigration enforcement system.

Instead of addressing the root causes of migration... the Trump administration has chosen to dehumanize immigrants and to exploit this crisis for political gain.

The President has referred to immigrants as rapists, thugs, and animals, and has described the arrival of asylum-seekers as, quote, 'an invasion of our country,' unquote.

Those orders seem to be patently illegal. I don't know who has authority to keep you out of something that is called a court, a public court.

I think the chairman is getting ready to ask a question. I don't have the time. I was going to yield.

A Border Patrol agent shot her while she was hiding in a ravine in the head and then lied to the American public about the circumstances surrounding that case.

Their presence add to the overall false narrative of a crisis and threat of an invasion at our border, which is simply not true.

The military has no place on the U.S.-Mexico border. They are barred by law from conducting any law enforcement activity within the country.

The MPP is a blatantly illegal program, period.

Let me be very clear. It seems to get a little murky.

I commend Congresswoman Escobar for introducing H.R. 2203, the Homeland Security Improvement Act, which brings the necessary accountability measures to border enforcement institutions.

We needed to pierce that hatred, that kind of nationalism on the part of white nationalists and others.
