He is making over $100,000 in our company. He doesn't have not even half of an associate degree.
We have a gentleman that came to us 7 years ago through a program where I was reimbursed for the wages that I paid the gentleman that came along with another three workers that I acquired at that time through that program.
No. It sorts like and fell (ph) the president, any president not just Donald Trump has very wide power to pardon individuals. So there's not been a question about his constitutional authority, but I think it's obviously a very poor…
The president used his office to part in a bigot tonight. Joe Arpaio really sustains a law enforcement across the country. For years he targeted and harassed Hispanics in Arizona. And he should have served his time. This was wrong for the…
It has been an extraordinary few weeks including the president's response in Charlottesville. A time when he should have been able to easily stand up there and unite the country and bring people together, he seemed insistent upon…

This week, I thought it was astounding, in the course of less than 24 hours, the Senate was unable to pass a healthcare bill. The President had promised for months that there would be a new healthcare bill to replace so-called ObamaCare…
I believe that these deep cuts will make for more desperate people around the world.
So you can imagine around the world that people start wondering who is speaking for the President.
I think your time during your service during this President's tenure has been one of the more moderating voices on what I consider to be some of their more outlandish moves.
Seeing no other speakers on my side, I am prepared to close as long as there are no other speakers on the majority side. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank, once again, Chairman Ed Royce, Ranking Member Engel, and Representatives Schakowsky and…
It is my pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky), the coauthor of this bill, a true advocate for women, and my colleague.

Politicians like Joaquin Castro
