I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts as to how we can improve both of these programs.

Thank you very much, Chairman Phillips.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration waited until early April to implement this program...

Safeguarding American taxpayer dollars will remain a high priority for me.

the enhanced unemployment benefits have had very large negative impacts and effect on small employers' ability to hire staff.

the plan got right. It created the RRF, which is a lifeline to struggling restaurants across the nation.

it was crafted with zero Republican input.

This issue should already have been taken care of. Last week, my Republican colleagues and I offered an amendment to extend this ban until at least 2022, but it was blocked, only to see Democrats draft this much weaker bill. It is another…

I recently visited the border in my home State of Texas. The crisis there is astounding, as thousands of illegal immigrants enter the country on a daily basis. The Biden administration has been silent and in denial of any crisis, as we…

The crisis there is astounding. And its scale is thousands of illegal immigrants, enabled by drug cartels and human traffickers, enter the country on a daily basis.

I hope your key understanding of the importance in empowering Governors and mayors and congressional Representatives and not Washington bureaucrats to address the needs of our communities will be reflected in your leadership and your…

The crisis at the border is astounding in its scale, as thousands of illegal immigrants, enabled by drug cartels and human traffickers, enter the country on a daily basis, many of them unaccompanied minors, untested for COVID-19. Yet our…

I appreciate the gentlewoman's amendment, and I will be supporting it. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 1, the underlying bill, the ``destroy election integrity and centralize all power in Washington, D.C., act'' that…

Government regulations have really helped erode the passenger experience.

I hope we can work together on this committee to support and not harm the industry as it rebuilds after this horrific pandemic.

the notion that these business owners can just dig deep in their pockets and pay all this additional money is ludicrous.

What I cannot seem to wrap my head around is the American workers who will be impacted the most by this reckless policy.

We want to see working families lifted up. And we want to advance policies that will give every American a shot at living their American Dream.

Small businesses shuttered, American families struggling to pay their rent, livelihoods destroyed.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

COVID-19 crushed us at the Loaf'n Dog. We were shuttered for most of the year until we could get deliveries going and curbside pickup, but this was not enough. I did receive a PPP loan which allowed me to keep my employees but only by the…

As one of my colleagues across the aisle said over the weekend, we do not want those businesses.

A wage hike to $15 per hour would cause small business owners like me to not only stop creating jobs but to eliminate jobs.

A Federal, nationwide mandate to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour will put us right back to where we were months ago.

Today, I should be in my district working for my constituents. Instead, I am back here in Washington because the majority could not resist another made-for-TV impeachment. American workers are losing their jobs and struggling to feed their…
