Today's theatrics are shocking. Thirty-five million jobs are lost. Businesses and livelihoods are ruined. While American grocers, nurses, and workers kept America going, Democrats kept Congress in hiding for the past 3 weeks. Hiding is…

Businesses large and small, through no fault of their own, are failing. We told them to shut down and workers are losing their jobs. Let me clear something up for everyone. A loss of a job is a loss of a job whether from a large business…

I would note that bill passed out of this committee unanimously the last Congress, I believe, and I would love it if we took it up again.

Yes, I would agree that any time we consolidate or streamline, that is going to be----

I think it is not always pointed out that ICE plays the biggest role in combating the scourge of human trafficking, and we should absolutely note that.

I look forward to consideration and passage of my DHS Blue Campaign Enhancement Act, H.R. 5804.

I really commend the work of DHS to combat human trafficking.

You can't control who decides to walk across the border and turn themselves in.

We ran out of time as we were talking about what more Congress could do to secure the border.

I am sure there would be a lot of bipartisan support for such a thing. Disasters don't just strike my district, they strike a lot.

I introduced the H.R. 1609, the Anti-Border Corruption Improvement Act, which would allow CBP to waive the polygraph requirement.

It is for that reason that we must continue to ensure that the DHS work force is prepared for the job at hand.

I, again, want to thank Representative Bacon for his work on this legislation, as well as Chairman Thompson, Ranking Member Rogers, Senator Johnson, and Senator Peters for moving this bill through the House and Senate committees. The…

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 20, line 7, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $45,000,000)''. The CHAIR. Pursuant to House…

I was unavoidably detained and missed the vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 54. PERSONAL EXPLANATION

One way this could be viewed in a very positive sense is to combat human trafficking.

Entrants are allowed to opt out of facial recognition technology and present photographic identification to a CBP officer.

I just want to dispel any misinformation on the facial recognition technology that we are discussing here today. It seems to be abnormally controversial.

Why should their travel through the airport be so antiquated and manual and frustrating?

It is not a negotiation. Let's not call it. We know it is not. It is a formal for price controls on drug prices.

They weren't just for the rich, of course. They were for everybody.

Iraq is not fully normal yet and it is in our interests to stay the course and help them do that.
