A few studies using other data sources to differentiate the legal status have supported the conclusion that immigrants, regardless of legal status, do not have higher crime rates than native-born citizens.

Last night we watched the President and the House Republicans scramble to achieve political points at the expense of the American people, working through the night. Imagine if they worked this hard on a jobs bills or a bill that raised…

We have heard this legislation described as a rescue mission and an act of mercy. Don't insult the intelligence of the American people. This bill is the cruelest and most immoral piece of legislation I have seen since I arrived in…

In 2008, the United States economy nearly collapsed as a direct result of lending practices in the housing market that were predatory, unsafe, and in many cases fraudulent.

Although the true hardship caused by this widespread fraud is incalculable, we do know that it erased $10 trillion of household wealth and caused eight million Americans to lose their jobs and five million Americans to lose their homes.

I wanted to stop the shameless pandering of the panel to the Chairman at all costs.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. In a very short number of weeks here in Congress, she has already made her mark as a passionate advocate not only for her State, but in this important fight to protect access to affordable, quality…

Title II ends taxpayer bailouts of banks that are too big to fail by providing financial regulators with orderly liquidation authority.

Because of this law, which includes some of the strongest consumer protections passed since the Great Depression, the banking system is stronger.

Republicans are planning to vote tomorrow to pass TrumpCare. This bill is a great deal for the superrich, it is a great deal for insurance companies, and it is a great deal for drug companies. But it is a bad deal for working men and women…

I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Garamendi) for leading this Special Order hour where we can really talk about the impact of what is about to happen if the Republicans get their way and pass TrumpCare. I think it is important to…

It is so important that the United States not waiver in our commitment to the NATO alliance and to our Baltic friends to ensure that the ties we have forged remain strong in the face of increased pressure.

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his extraordinary leadership on this legislation. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 372, the Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act of 2017, would partially repeal a longstanding antitrust exemption established…

There are so many people that I have heard from in my own district, and I know colleagues have heard the same thing when we talk about these numbers: 24 million people will lose their insurance and billions of dollars in tax breaks for the…

wasting time by one of the departments as a result of a patently false statement from the President seems to me should be something we understand and try to prevent in the future.

I think we are being asked to make serious reductions in a number of different areas because of cost constraints

But the story of the Jan-Feb series victim also serves as an incredible testament to the importance of the issues that we're discussing today and the work that's been done at places like NCMEC and by ICAC detectives and by prosecutors.

Because of the good work at NCMEC and with the ICAC, not only is that child predator currently serving a sentence of more than 200 years in a Federal prison, but I had the opportunity to seek restitution under 18 USC 2252 and 2252(a) on…

I can tell you that, from my time as a Federal prosecutor, it is the child exploitation images that I have been forced to view, from an in camera evidentiary standpoint, that I will remember always as the most disturbing and difficult part…

Under President George W. Bush, the prosecution of child exploitation crimes became one of our core priorities at the Justice Department.

Right now Republicans are racing to pass TrumpCare, legislation that repeals and replaces the Affordable Care Act. They are racing to pass it to because they know when the American people find out what is in this bill, they won't support…

we are here today because Russia engaged in unprecedented criminal attacks against the United States by illegally hacking information
