Election security is all about voter confidence and participation.

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman, and thank you for this hearing today.

Mr. Garcia of Illinois. Thank you for getting the macro problem of indebtedness out there.

Mr. Garcia of Illinois. As a follow-up, what sorts of evidence would show that a debt collector knew that a debt was so old it could not be pursued in court?

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman, and, of course, thank you to all of the witnesses who are here today to further enlighten us about this pressing issue.

I filed a bill to stop that, but I am also concerned because in Homestead when I visited...

It is simply not true that immigrants commit more crimes than native-born Americans. I agree with him.

What is really most troubling about some of these detention centers, that they are really more incarceration centers than detention centers.

I think that strikes a reasonable balance between the rights of individuals and the rights of all Americans--a human right not to get shot.

Do you think that it makes sense for Congress to act and restore risk retention or arrangers of CLOs?

The Fed's Financial Stability Report warned about leveraged loans to corporations, and noted that, 'the more risky tranches are primarily held by asset managers, insurance companies, hedge funds, and structured credit funds.'

I am worried that we failed to learn the lessons of 2008 and are making the same mistakes.

My constituents cannot afford another crash, for many of them are still recovering from the last one.

Madam Chairwoman, I don't think we are going to be around to make any of those rewards or gains or whatever that might be.

I want to call it a ban because I think we should call it what it is, was ill-conceived, poorly implemented, and ill-explained.

It seems to me that there's still a lot of backlog and there's still a lot of distress on so many people still waiting.

For the record, let me State that maybe the witness doesn't think it was chaos, but certainly the inspector general thought it was pandemonium.

The Muslim ban is yet, in my view, another tactic in this Administration's use of anti-immigrant policies. This ban has impacted several of our districts, including my very own in Texas.

I will be brief, just two points: Number one, it is not redundant. If it were so, the National Whistleblower Center and The Institute of Internal Auditors wouldn't see a need for it, and neither would the report that we have now placed in…

It is imperative our law enforcement and our citizens work together to build the trust, the respect, and the community that every American in this country deserves.

Until you suffer the death of your child, you can never truly understand the depth of inequity and inequality that we still face in this country.

We will keep fighting for Eric. We will honor his memory and all those that are taken from us by abuses of power.

The old driving while Black has now turned into driving while brown.

The relationship between law enforcement and the community is a very important one, which is supposed to promote the safety and wellbeing of all people.

I know, but we talked about two. What others do you look at?
