I appreciate the gentlewoman from Georgia coming down and joining us in this conversation. I did not realize that the gentlewoman had the pleasure of meeting with and getting to know the Vargas family or at least maybe the aunt and uncle…
That is exactly correct. Yet for 4 years under the Trump administration, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle went around ranting about the treatment of migrants, whom we are dealing with because of very broken policies, trying to…
It certainly goes without saying. I started my remarks earlier about the knowledge and the engagement of this President and the President's administration, that the policies of this administration, the policies of Democrat cities, the…
May I inquire how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 15 minutes remaining.
I will close my last minute to just say that it is currently easier for the cartels to exploit our Southern border and to allow gang members and dangerous narcotics to come into this country than it is for the American people to get access…
I thank my friend from Texas for his remarks. Madam Speaker, I think the gentleman who has spent time at the border, as I have, would appreciate the story that I can recount. When I was last there, there was a conversation involving a…
What I would like to expand upon is an extension of what my friend from Montana was just talking about, what is happening to human beings here in the United States. But now let's talk a little about the impact with respect to COVID and the…
I thank the gentlewoman from Georgia. I know I have my friend who has been waiting patiently, and so I will yield to that gentleman. Madam Speaker, I would just note that the gentlewoman from Georgia mentioned video taken from southeast…
I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Mr. Speaker, right now in south Texas there are American citizens whose lives are in danger because of wide open borders as a direct result of Biden's border crisis and the policies of the…
Officer Tiffany-Victoria Enriquez, Officer Kaulike Kalama, Sheriff Sheldon Gordon Whiteman, Officer Katherine Mary Thyne, I could go on and on 113 times with the names of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, who were…
I would point out that the Speaker of the House came to the floor and used her magic minute, but doesn't stay on the floor and debate. There is no debate on this floor. And then the Speaker said that there were amendments, 56 amendments…
I appreciate the gentleman yielding. Madam Speaker, as the gentleman knows, we have had a dialogue back and forth about the need for amendment, the need for debate on the floor. And what I would ask the gentleman is, for example, if the…
Would the Chair consider it a violation of the rule for a Member to be present physically here in the Chamber and on the same day vote by proxy having submitted said letter? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair does not look behind a…
Does the Constitution of the United States require a quorum to be present for votes on the House floor? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not stating a proper parliamentary inquiry. The Chair does not interpret the…
Does the rule regarding proxy voting require a form be submitted and signed by Members of this body that they have a pandemic- or COVID-related reason for being unable to be physically present? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would…
And has a family who does as well, does the gentleman have thoughts on that? Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Cloud).
I thank the Speaker. Right before I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania, I want to appreciate his service, his service to the country, both in the military and now in Congress. I know he has a passion for this issue. Mr. Speaker, I…
We are in a situation right now where this body is now refusing to work. Democrats are refusing to work with Republicans. They are threatening to hold up and block their legislation because they dared to object to the electors, a…
Yes. One of the things that you made me think of is how much cancel culture is now getting rooted in government and, in fact, the institution in which we are currently standing. The gentlewoman is well aware that my colleagues on the other…
Yeah. There is no question. In my view, what we are seeing today is the assertion of power over the mind of America, right? And it is just happening as we see it. We have got a fence with razor wire around the Capitol. We were all…
I would say to the gentleman from Georgia that I could not agree more, and I have spoken a little bit about the Equality Act. The only thing I would add to it--and I said this earlier on the floor about the Equality Act--my wife and I…
I agree with the gentleman. If you take that view, you are labeled a bigot. If you take the view that we want a secure border, you are labeled as someone who wants to keep people out of this country. If you dare to say what you just said…
I would agree with the gentleman from West Virginia, and I appreciate his comments. I have 1 minute left and I will simply just say this: This chart showing debt is not just about the big number. It is not just about the $30 trillion of…
I just want to say to my friend from Texas that I know he has a heart for immigrants who come to the United States of America. We both live in Texas. We both deal with an open border and we deal with the issue of immigration on a regular…
