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 228, nays 205, not voting 1, as…

The one word that has been consistently missing from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle today is heartbeat.

We have to make a decision about what we are going to do to carry this country forward. We have to decide whether or not we are going to give people information that they can believe in and trust and make sure that the institutions that…

I appreciate my colleagues' tribute to Mr. Trumka. Whether or not we always agree with every issue, it is always great to see a life that is being honored here on the floor of the House of Representatives. I appreciate that. I appreciate…

Yes. We need some cops in Austin, Texas, to fill the holes when those liberals in Austin decided to get rid of the cops. We need some more. Come on down.

I always notice that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle snicker when we say things about critical race theory. They laugh at it. But they never want to debate the actual substance of the garbage being taught. They never want to…

Well, I appreciate the Speaker for his indulgence. I appreciate my friend from Arizona. I would just point out that what we learned today was highly troubling. What we saw with the Attorney General, what we learned today when we saw that…

We have a few others: General Electric employees in Greenville, South Carolina, walked out over the vaccine mandate. A New York hospital will stop delivering babies as workers quit over a vaccine mandate. Nearly 1,900 Washington State…

Would it surprise the gentleman from Arizona that one of the reasons that the Haitians got a different deal was they came up through Del Rio and they did so purposefully? Why did they target Del Rio, you might ask? My colleagues on the…

As my friend from Arizona knows full well, the cause of this is the purposeful and willful disregard for enforcing the laws of the United States at our border. Our laws actually require the enforcement of the law at the border. The…

Isn't it a perversion of our law for the administration to tell the world: Come to the United States. Claim asylum. Let's be clear. This is what is happening almost explicitly. The administration is saying to the world: Come to the border…

What were those policies that President Trump and his administration put in place to actually secure the borders of the United States in 2019?

Right. You are not welcome to come here illegally, and you are not welcome to flout our laws. You are welcome to come here and follow our laws that we have in place for people who come here legally. There is a waiting list, by the way…

That is what happens. They get processed and released. And then, Mr. Speaker, when you have migrants who are coming in between the ports of entry and they come across ranches and ranchers come across them or they die in the desert, then…

I wonder if the gentleman might indulge, I had planned a couple of things that were border related, but I also have another topic that he might be interested in. I want to set the stage for something I hope is viewed positively because I…

Some dude is cooking it in Mexico, they are shoving this stuff up from Mexico. There is a guy cooking the Xanax in the same place they have the fentanyl, and people are now getting those pills in the United States, they are dying, and we…

Amen. We have got frontline doctors who are out there making sure that people can get access to ivermectin. We have got people who are working around all the barriers of these pharmaceutical companies that are saying: No, you can't get…

I thank my friend from Texas for holding this time with my colleagues to talk about what is going on at our southern border and talk about how important it is that we do something about it. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Arizona for…

I think there is a theme for this administration, and this administration's theme is paying people not to work. In this case, they are paying people not to build a fence, despite the fact that the taxpayers of this country have paid for a…

Well, I thank the gentleman from Arizona for his comments. I believe my time is winding down. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 1 minute remaining.

To be clear, even if there's a threat of violence, do you believe that it is domestic terrorism that the FBI has the power to target American citizens in local disputes because a father gets mad?

This man is arrested. A 48-year-old plumber became the poster boy for the new domestic terrorism, the Biden Administration, the Administration in which you serve, has concocted to destroy anyone who gets in the way.

What are you afraid of?

Are you aware that the Virginia General Assembly, run by Democrats, voted for--and Democrat Governor Ralph Northam signed a bill allowing schools to refrain from reporting instances of sexual battery, stalking, violation of a protective…

Do you agree with the following statement as a father or as a Cabinet member? Quote, 'You don't want parents coming into every different school jurisdiction saying that this is what should be taught here and that this is what should be…
