Henry Cuellar

I would like to meet that person. Nobody seems to tell me--nobody wants to take the responsibility, but $35 million is wasted taxpayers' dollars.

It is very easy to say I want new miles here, new miles over here.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and again, Mr. Secretary, appreciate the work that you and your men and women do.

Sometimes we might disagree with the administration on policy, but policy is one thing, but the men and women--we support your men and women.

I just want to make sure that there is a sincere intention to really make adjustments to designs or to the placement of the fence if it goes that far.

I just want to make sure that you understand that comes from our committee.

Thank you for the job that you all do.

I certainly feel that your office can certainly look at that distribution. I am just concerned sometimes we have a tendency of forgetting the rural areas.

I joined some of my House colleagues a letter to the President, asking him that if there is any vaccine or treatment developed by U.S. taxpayer dollars that it would be accessible, affordable, and available.

If somebody spends a hundred dollars, don't we want to know how those hundred dollars have an impact on it?

I just want to make sure that we are coordinating working together as we use this large amount of Federal dollars.

I think these modifications should be something that we should apply, whether it is in South Korea or wherever the case might be.

I support the USMCA, NAFTA 2.1, because we are doing this in a bipartisan way. I thank Speaker Pelosi and the working group and Chairman Neal and his staff for working so hard; my Texas colleague Kevin Brady and his staff for working so…

I want to see if I can focus on Central America. That has been an issue for the whole country.

I thank Chairwoman Lowey for her leadership and her expertise on the Appropriations Committee. I also thank my fellow Texan, Ms. Granger, for her work and her leadership on this. And I thank both of them for working in a bipartisan way…

You can't make fun of people that have had lands for generations and we got to respect those private property rights of those individuals.

The President and administration have to respect the law.

We have to respect private property rights.

I'm very concerned that the President is even saying things like don't worry, if you get it done, even violate the law, I will pardon you.

We support a bipartisan amendment from Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas and Dan Newhouse of Washington State that would expand the H-2A program to non-seasonal ag workers.

I thank Chairman Smith and his staff for working with our office, and also the ranking member and his staff for working on making this a bipartisan amendment. I would like to speak about an amendment that will do a Western Hemisphere…
