Chip Roy

May I inquire how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1\1/2\ minutes.

I have great respect for my colleague on the other side of the aisle from Texas. On this matter we disagree. The Secretary of Homeland Security has entirely abdicated his responsibility to follow the laws of the United States. He has done…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I appreciate the brevity of my colleague, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 79 Offered by…

This amendment prohibits--as I have done in a number of our other appropriations bills, successfully so far. This amendment prohibits any of the funding in the Homeland Security appropriations bill from being used to carry out President…

I appreciate my friend from Texas, and I will certainly review the amendment. I am not going to withdraw it. I want to review the amendment and see if the reference is somehow incorrect, but the intent of the amendment--and it is now, I am…

The termination of this program resulted in a decrease by 64 percent for illegal alien apprehensions between ports of entries or found inadmissible at ports of entry. Border encounters with Central American families--the main driver of the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds…

The United States military is one of the few institutions in America where the skills of the men or women on either side of you could mean the difference between life and death. At the end of the day, it embodies I think Dr. King's notion…

The amendment I put forward prohibits funding in this act to President Biden's executive orders that put needless limits on immigration enforcement, scale back sound asylum policies, and establish its own set of immigration directives that…

First of all, with all due respect to the gentleman from Massachusetts, the bill we put forward does not cut funding. It increases spending over last year. We can debate the merits of that and debate how much we need to restrain spending…

The American people are fed up, my constituents are fed up, the people we represent are fed up, and they are fed up with the very deal that the gentleman from Massachusetts just described that came out of the Senate. Madam Speaker, that is…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts, pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of…

On Saturday, the Rules Committee reported a rule for four appropriations measures and made in order 440 total amendments. We bring to the floor H.R. 4365, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act; 180 amendments were made in order…

The only people being held hostage are the American people by Democrat leadership in the Senate and in the White House; holding them hostage to a wide open border, endangering them every single day, including the 110,000 some-odd migrants…

Again, my colleagues don't want to focus on the issues the American people care about, and they certainly don't want to talk about the issues that are, frankly, pretty embarrassing to the track record of my Democratic colleagues. As I…

How much time is remaining on both sides? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 10\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Massachusetts has 13\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Last summer, our Democratic colleagues sent a package, a minibus of six appropriations bills, and in one vote wiped their hands and said they were done. Then there was a massive omnibus spending bill that was sent over to us in December…

I claim the time in opposition to the point of order in favor of consideration of the resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 10 minutes.

As I said, this is a dilatory tactic by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I wouldn't want to speak about what is going on either. I wouldn't want to speak about the story this afternoon of Hunter Biden receiving a $250,000 wire…

The question before the House of Representatives is: Should the House now consider House Resolution 723, the rule that is before us, a rule that we are looking to advance this evening to advance four appropriations bills that, when…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 723 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 723 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…

I thank my friend from Texas for his service to this great country, both in uniform and here in this body. I am honored to serve with him. I am honored to serve with all of the great Members of Congress that wore the uniform. I appreciate…

Because it is more politically expedient for you to saddle up to the libertarian Cato Institute or a bunch of radical leftists and talk about, oh, how important it is for people to free flow across borders.

As I was preparing to give remarks, I was listening to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, and one of the points being raised was about champions of Title IX and what would they say. I think that is a fantastic question. Just…
