I am not antagonistic to trying to find a solution to the agricultural dilemma of creating a more robust legal system so you can access legal workers.
The problem we have, Mr. Chairman, is if we legalize the agricultural workforce, give legal status without securing our border, and changing our asylum laws first, you will have a run on this country that you've never seen.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, it's been an interesting couple of days. Glad to be home. That's for darn sure.
Here's the deal. Half the people working here illegally, if they left tomorrow, we would be hosed.
The solution of legalizing millions of people in the agricultural community without first dealing with the broken border and a broken asylum system, I mean, I think, is ill-conceived.
American companies should not be on an uneven playing field simply because they must abide by progressive regulations far stricter than the ones in China.
The United States possesses tools to curb China's economic aggression, including sanctions, export controls, and investment screening, but we must use these tools strategically and effectively.
We should encourage policies that foster these ideals in the marketplace--and that means lessening burdensome regulations.
There should never be a world--there should never be a world--where a company finds China easier to do business, a better business environment.
Whether you like Trump or not, what happened in the FBI is just mind-boggling.

If the Department of Defense does not provide the ICC with the evidence necessary to prosecute Russians, we are sending yet another signal that we are all talk when it comes to bad actors.
We are not doing what we need to be doing to let China know we are serious about playing in their backyard.
If you are really worried about China giving weapons to Russia, why do not you get 100 U.S. Senators to pass a law telling China if you give them one bullet, we are going to sanction the hell out of you?
100 U.S. Senators recommended to you that we declare Russia a state-sponsor of terrorism to deter people like China from giving them weapons.
If we fold in Ukraine and let Putin have his way, China is more likely to invade Taiwan.
I think you're on the right track. So, here's what--my two cents' worth for the Committee is that we need to empower an agency that issues them a license and can take it away.
