I so much appreciate my friend. I don't like to use ``colleague'' with Dana Rohrabacher because he is so much more than that. He is a dear friend and a brother, and I will treasure most of the times that we have spent together in…

The gentleman personally witnessed what happened after the amnesty of 1986. President Reagan rightly said that we can't have an amnesty unless we have proper border security. They put it in the same bill. They got the amnesty and there was…

I want to thank my friend, Mr. Garrett for yielding. It is important that we discuss what has been going on in Iran. I recall I was on Active Duty in the United States Army back when President Carter stood by and basically encouraged the…

The gentleman and I have been to Iraq a number of times together, to Afghanistan, to different places in the world. It seems pretty clear, after our effort to create a democratic republic in Iraq, that if a nation's people have not been…

We keep hearing about action that needs to be taken on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. I have spent a lot of time down on our Nation's southern border, and I was quite pleased, last year, when Border Patrol friends told me…

It has been quite a week: ups and downs and not knowing whether bills would be passed or the government would be funded, whether we would be able to help America with a much-improving economy in the new year by passing the tax cut bill…

I heard my colleagues across the aisle discussing the issue of Special Counsel Mueller. Since there are one or two possibilities about some of the things they said regarding Republicans, especially on a committee, either Mr. Cohen's memory…

I do appreciate the concerns of my friends here in Congress because this is just incredible. You know, many of us have read, understood what happened during Watergate, and we thought surely there have been enough things put in as checks to…

There are a lot of big things going on. More things will be coming out. We have had an interesting day of it today. Hopefully, the House and Senate--I think we are going to get a tax cut bill done. I think it is unfair to just call it a…

I appreciate my colleague pointing out that we have done something good here. When people talk about the tax bill that was passed, it is not everything everybody wanted, that is for sure. It is not everything Republicans wanted, but it is…

As folks head back to their districts--and I will be doing so shortly--it is important to take a look at some things that have been rather important here in our country. The Department of Justice does need an investigation into the matters…

It is with great joy that I welcome Dr. Glynn Stone to the House of Representatives today to serve as our guest chaplain. Dr. Stone serves at Mobberly Baptist Church in Longview as senior pastor, where he takes part in influencing others…

I just want to start out echoing what my friend, Congressman Rick Nolan, was saying: We should not be about the rich getting richer. There are different strategies to try to accomplish fairness in a free country. If it is truly free…
