First of all, congratulations to the vice chair. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Protecting Our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act. Biden's open border policies have led to a historic surge in illegal…

It is a lie to blame Jews for what is wrong in the world.

Hate is taught. It is not in our DNA.

I personally think that the diversity, equity and inclusion is a fraud.

If we are misrepresenting data to present a false narrative or perpetuate a narrative which may provide some political gain, then we are providing a disservice to those we represent.

We should never, ever look at turning back.

This resolution should not have been included in a congressional resolution.

The national strategy is a serious plan.

Pushing back against antisemitism means we need an all hands-on-deck approach across society.

We can no longer support the use of taxpayer dollars to cultivate, nourish and grow hate on our campuses.

Our nation's most consequential book banning was done by Supreme Court in 1963, when officially mandated Bible reading, this book, is banned from all of us.

I am very proud of the engagement of parents who now recognize that rot and filth is being pushed on innocence of vulnerable children.

Parents have the rights to make sure their kids are educated, not the way other people want, particularly when it comes to sexual content, but the way we want.

However, with each passing year, we need to modernize how we fund this critical infrastructure asset.

America's highway system has long been the foundation of robust economy growth.
