It is an epidemic, and until we get a handle on it, these crises are going to continue.

There is nothing more un-American than lawlessness and chaos and the lack of respect for rule of law.

We have tried and we have actually had some successes.

But look, I think we can all agree in this room and outside of this room, there is a crisis at the border.

Immigration reform, border security, is the most politically toxic, policy complicated issue I have worked on.

We did the Farm Workforce Modernization Act. One of my proudest things that I personally worked on.

When people tell you who they are, believe them, and I believe they are, for whatever reason and rationale, for an open border.

What I would like to submit to my colleagues is that CBO, in order to do their job, to provide the full picture and accurate information for us as lawmakers, to make the decisions and value judgments, is to have the full net cost.

President Biden himself may have committed impeachable offenses relating to treason, bribery, or other crimes.

TCJA is just one pro-growth policy on the economic agenda of my fellow Republicans. It is deregulation, it is America First trade.

Look, we try really hard to simplify the contrast between our philosophy on the role of government and the lives of the citizens of this great country, our fiscal, budgetary and economic policies versus our Democrat colleagues.

I was not able to vote on H.R. 4723. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 87. ____________________

I thank the gentleman from Texas. What a great career he has had in public service. He has truly been an inspiration and a leader among his equals here in the people's House on healthcare issues. He was the founder of the Doctors Caucus…

Last week, the President stood in this Chamber and declared the state of the Union is good and that our lives are better. For the sake of our country, I wish that were so, but, unfortunately, we know it couldn't be further from the truth…

I thank our fearless leader and the good gentleman from Tennessee for yielding time. Just a comment about this not being an invasion: No honest or objective American, from sea to shining sea, could characterize what is happening at our…

I am shocked by the data that suggests that 86 percent of surveyed cancer centers report experiencing drug shortages.

I don't question the intentions of anybody in here, including Earl Blumenauer over there.

I appreciate my Ranking Member making the comment about fiscal responsibility, and the culture of fiscal responsibility is ours, is our mantle to bear and our goal for the taxpayers of this great nation.

We have 40 percent, roughly, of our programs, departments, and agencies that have not been authorized that we continue to fund.

For sure. It starts at the top, they say, right?

That is a massive dereliction of oversight responsibility.

We have a growing amount of improper payments, and what was $150 billion a year prior to COVID is now $230 billion a year.

We haven't had an oversight hearing, which is our congressional and constitutional responsibility, in six years.

I thank the gentleman from Kansas who represents a district that may be the second largest production ag district only to west Texas, the food, fuel, and fiber capital of the world. In all seriousness, spending is out of control like never…

Timing is everything. I think we have got a great opportunity.
