I appreciate the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I would just note, my colleagues are talking about what we are actually here to talk about. We are talking about the concern about Black Americans. How about the fact that in Chicago we had 800…
I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Here we sit on the floor of the House of Representatives, and we are talking about allegedly crime. But we are not talking about, of the 17,000 homicides last year, the 800 homicides in…
You know what I have here in front of me? I have a photograph that a friend--I think he is one of the six people watching on C-SPAN right now--just texted me and said, Here is a picture of gasoline at the pump. Diesel I should say, not…
Well, as the gentleman knows, as we sit here in the people's House, I just got an update from the border showing the Border Patrol is building a new soft-sided tent compound in Eagle Pass, Texas. Another picture of it shows a big tent with…
I agree with the gentleman. I support Ukrainians, but I represent Americans, and Americans want to stand alongside Zelenskyy and push back on Putin, but they want us to do our job responsibly. When I hear the majority leader of the other…
I know exactly why. Could it be because they believe their mission is to process more aliens coming to the United States? That it would encourage more to come; have them come across the river--never mind being exploited by the…
I know the gentleman is correct. I know we are just about out of time. I would just say in closing, the American people expect us to do our job. The American people expect us to vote, the American people expect us to stand up for them, and…
Absolutely. It is this green agenda that has us bowing down to China in order to get the minerals and resources in order to make solar panels and wind farms. If you look at Texas that produces as much wind as any State in the country…
And opening one a week. Do you know how many coal-fired plants we are opening in this country? Zippo. Do you know what kind of rules we have coming out right now to hammer the coal industry in Texas and elsewhere? Massive rules. Do you…
I would ask the gentleman a question. We are talking about the extent to which the American people are hurting. He talked about the baby formula. We are talking about the border--wide open borders, fentanyl pouring in, American people…
The gentleman knows that we are feeling that impact in Texas. He just mentioned fentanyl. We just got the new data from the CDC: 117,000 dead Americans. Yet, nothing but crickets coming from our colleagues on the other side of the aisle…
I thank the gentleman from Arkansas for his comments and for his tireless commitment to pointing out the atrocities in China; our needs and interests in making sure that we stand with the people of Taiwan and stand strong in the globe and…
The pandemic is a good example because there is an altruistic motive to care for people and ensure that there is a vaccine available.
This is an important issue. As was noted earlier, I believe we, my friend Mike Lee in the Senate and I, have worked together to introduce this legislation, the Article 1 Act, in the previous Congress.
I wasn't going to use this 1-minute time, but I just got a text from some contacts down on the border in south Texas from Eagle Pass with drone footage of yet another enormous group that is crossing illegally onto private property around…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 188, nays 226, not voting 15, as…
The gentleman from Maryland talked about protecting this institution or talked about this institution, but we have a $40 billion bill at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't had a chance to review the bill. My staff is poring over the…
Our law says they should be detained, and your agency is releasing people on purpose to flood the zone.
This is a mobile morgue, a body trailer, needed by counties in south Texas overwhelmed by dead migrants.
The fact is we currently have people flowing across the border including dangerous narcotics and dangerous numbers of terrorists.
The only plan that you offer, the plan you just offered, is to process aliens faster and encourage more to come.
