I have said that I'm all for a smart wall, a wall using technology, using drones and scanners and X-ray equipment that will make the wall too high to get over, too wide to get around, too deep to borough under.

I think they're much better than that. I think we have two sides who realized that this is something that must get done. We have to secure our border. We cannot do it with Homeland Security not being funded.

When the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville came to this country, he observed its greatness and set out to find the genius that made it so. He wrote in his book ``Democracy in America'' that: ``The greatness of America lies not in…

I respect and have a great deal of admiration for people who I consider to be conservative. But the conservatism is something totally different from the stuff that he is saying.

One of the things that we need to really start doing is differentiating between conservatism and this reactionary stuff that we see today.

Well, as we said down south, they're traveling partners when it comes to this philosophy.

I think he's fully aware.

Well, I think that when you want the Congress to act with overwhelming support, you're trying to get the language you feel that the people would be comfortable with. So what we were trying to do is to get the House to express disapproval…

I thank Ranking Member McCollum. I thank the chairman of the subcommittee, Ms. Sewell, and Congresswoman Adams for their support of this legislation. As a proud graduate of an HBCU, with a daughter who is an HBCU graduate, I am very much…

We could produce a bipartisan tax plan that would end the preferential treatment of investment income, which undermines working Americans while enriching wealthy investors. We stand ready to engage with the other side. Until then, we will…

It is my privilege, as dean of the South Carolina delegation, to introduce to this Chamber Representative Ralph Norman. Mr. Norman is from Rock Hill in York County, South Carolina. He is a real estate developer, a graduate of Presbyterian…

One of them was called Dodd-Frank. And as a result of Dodd-Frank, we saw some stabilization in institutions and we began to move forward.

We wanted to make sure that we didn't put the American people, the workers--whether you are Democrat, whether you are Republican, whether you are independent, whether you are Black, whether you are White, whether you are Hispanic--we…

Far too many States across this country have enacted troubling voter suppression laws since the Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder.

I have a parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Womack). The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.

Well, I think the gentleman has summarized this adequately and, I think, appropriately.

Make no mistake about it: a vote against this motion is a vote to continue flying the Confederate battle flag and allow discrimination at a military college. I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Sean Patrick Maloney), my good friend.

Because in spite of how we may argue this issue, I am a firm believer that we are going to have more of these disasters going forward.

I am very, very concerned about that, and I would hope that as we go forward with this--because these lives that were lost, these 19 lives, they were not resisting leaving.
