Anybody who is watching the world events unfolding today is well aware that our dear friends in Israel are under attack, but they are not just under attack by Hamas. They are, in fact, under attack from the anti-Western civilization…

I notice it must be campaign season. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle are trotting out the age-old push-granny-off-the-cliff campaign talking points. It never fails. If my colleagues want to have a conversation about how to…

We have witnessed a disturbing spike in antisemitic violence across our own country.

I do not understand recent statements and actions by this Administration.

I thank my friend from Missouri for yielding, and I rise in support of this legislation. San Antonio, which I am proud to represent, has about 1.7 million people. It is the seventh-largest city in the country and is the second-largest…

Much of what we are seeing transpire on college campuses is not First Amendment protected speech.

Do we not, in fact--have we not allowed almost 20-something, 25 million people legally to come into the United States over the last two and a half decades?

Is that not, in fact, a backdoor way to dump more people into the United States rather than having them visibly come across the border?

And right now, under our current system, are the laws being ignored by the current administration?

Parole has become a shadow immigration system. It is essentially supplanting the family and employment-based systems.

Do you believe that under our current law in the United States Supreme Court, under Plyler v. Doe, that the people of Texas have to pay through their taxes to fund people getting an education whether they are here illegally or not?

Is that the highest percentage that we have ever had as a percentage of our population since we have been counting it going back well into the, you know, early part of the 19th century?

As usual, I appreciate my friend from Arizona, who is, if nothing else, dogged in his determination and consistent in making clear to the American people the problem that we face on our overall spending, including mandatory. Specifically…

A letter to Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States, and Miguel Cardona, Secretary of Education,

All these are impeachable offenses, and to my Republican colleagues who say, 'No, it's not, that's maladministration,' they're wrong.

I would note that today we have seen around the country an extraordinary display of anti-Semitic activity on college campuses throughout the country: Columbia University, USC, and even in Austin, Texas, at the University of Texas near…

The rule that we're talking about was released on April 30, 2024, says you do not.

How in the world -- again, we -- I opposed it with Kevin. I think right now, we need to just do our job.

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Roy moves to recommit the bill (H.R. 8035) to the Committee on Appropriations. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of passage. The vote was taken by…

I thank my distinguished colleague from Texas for yielding me time, and I very much appreciate his service. I apologize that I am here on the floor in opposition to a rule in his first week as chairman of the Rules Committee. I have great…

I thank my friend from Alabama for yielding. The gentlewoman is right, in part, in that we are here for two reasons. Yes, this bill will not become law--there is no question about that-- and it will not become law for two reasons. The…

For five months, we've done nothing but advanced things with more Democrat votes, then Republican votes.

I'm well past the point of giving grace here. So we're going to go have some conversations.

the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic triggered some of the most aggressive usurpations of freedom present-day Americans have experienced.
