I urge support for the resolution, as amended. The material previously referred to by Ms. Scanlon is as follows: An Amendment to H. Res. 383 Offered By Ms. Scanlon of Pennsylvania At the end of the resolution, add the following: Sec. 3…

We have a crisis at our southern border that has captured the attention of the American people but has fallen on deaf ears among my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and, much more importantly, the President and the administration…

I have to address, at least for a minute, this disparaging commentary about the Governor of Texas busing migrants. Well, I guess my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would like to ignore the fact that the Democrat mayor of El Paso…

I would just remind my colleagues that it was in December when we got a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that was 4,000 pages long around 1 a.m., and then we voted on it the next day. In that bill there was specific language that…

I offer an amendment to the resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Strike the first section after the resolving clause and insert the following: ``That upon adoption of this…

The American people prosper best when the Federal Government's woke bureaucracy, weaponized bureaucracy, wasteful bureaucracy, gets the hell out of the way of the American people.

Leveling charges of cuts against VA is a page out of the Democratic playbook we have all seen far too well where they want to scare the American people.

The President's budget would increase spending next year by $500 billion to $6.8 trillion and increase the deficit by $300 billion.

Just a couple of points. First of all, this tired talking point of 90 percent of narcotics being captured at the ports of entry; well, of course, that is the only place where we have Border Patrol. Because they are overwhelmed doing…

We would like to cut spending. Year one, our bill would cut the deficit in year one by over a trillion dollars.

It is a complete lie to say that tax policy is causing the problem that we have with respect to deficit spending right now. Rather, it is a spending problem.

Our Democratic colleagues passed the biggest giveaway to the rich that we have seen in years last August in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

The rich, Biden claims that we want to cut spending so we can, 'cut taxes for the rich.'

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 383 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 383 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

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

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I never know who I am, whether I am a rightwing MAGA extremist or a Ron DeSantis-supporting RINO. Today, where I am here on the floor is--I would just say this: ``I cannot…

Are you proud of a system in this country that has 356,000 unaccompanied alien children that allow that to occur to children that we know?

It blows my mind that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to defend a system of laws that allows this to occur to children.

I would just ask for that consideration, and I'm happy to work with anybody on the committee to try to effectuate that change.

It is, I think, on the border of absurd that we don't at least have the ability to have a direct flight option from San Antonio.

The barrier to achieving it is actually legislative.

It seems parochial, and some--I guess, by definition, it is. There are Members of Congress who are trying to do that.

I would just say, using myself as an example out of Austin, I take that direct flight Southwest to DCA, but I often take the United direct flight to Dulles.

We believe that is something that needs to change.

I just ask the committee to please consider taking that up.
