My friend and colleague from Pennsylvania once again has been consistent in his opposition to these regional commissions. This amendment seeks to cut funding for the Southwest Border Regional Commission in half. This Commission seeks to create jobs in some of the most poverty-stricken areas of our Nation. This bill provides $5 million equal to fiscal year 2023. This amount ensures this Commission can continue its work and cutting it in half would virtually do nothing compared to the overall spending in the bill. Mr. Chair, I respectfully urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
