$1.6 trillion, less than 1 percent of which was for Ukraine support. Some justified their vote for that because it was supporting Ukraine. So 99 percent of the bill had nothing to do with Ukraine. Yet, 54 Republicans, one-fourth of our…

That is right. They say they want to identify the root causes. I can tell my friend what the root causes are. The root causes of the massive surge across our border, if you will, the invasion at our border: is the cessation of the Trump…

Absolutely. And the four times that I have been to the border in the last 15 months, I have never seen a Democrat there. I have had Border Patrol, Texas State Police, sheriffs, and law enforcement who are working there at the border--not…

We did. Where just a couple months ago you had ``Bidentown'' with some 20,000 illegal Haitian immigrants gathered under the bridge. We learned a lot while we were there, and I thank the gentleman for leading that trip. I also want to say…

I have been tempted to interrupt during the proxy voting to ask the Speaker to allow me to offer a prayer for the healing and recovery of the dozens of Members of Congress who are not at work and who are apparently too sick from COVID to…

I have been there four times in my first year, the first 14 months here in this Congress. February a year ago was the largest February in terms of illegal border crossings in the history of the country. We had 101,000 cross, some 3,000 a…

It is simple. Complete the wall. End catch and release. Reinstate remain in Mexico and title 42. Require E-verify. Take amnesty off the table. Speaker Mrvan, we would love to have you on that petition.

This budget...contains zero accounting for the amount of taxpayer dollars that are being spent on flights to transport illegal aliens.

The President's plan to further reduce border funding...will require HHS to help in a greater capacity to process these illegals into the country.

Why don't we follow the god created science of two genders?

Absolutely we are not letting border patrol do their job. Absolutely.

It would be great if we would actually enforce and follow the laws that we have.

I thank the gentleman from Oregon for yielding. Our country continues to suffer under the many crises created by the Biden administration and Democrat policies; you know, the border crisis, the crime crisis, the inflation crisis, the…

The number one killer of Americans between the age of 18 and 45 last year was drug overdoses. And yet we are allowing the most dangerous drugs, fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, to stream across the border. The only way you get across…

These aren't the ones dressed head to toe in camo with the carpet shoes on who are evading capture, are they?

Person Speaker, and I say ``Person Speaker'' because I am not a biologist. And out of respect to our Supreme Court nominee, I don't feel qualified to say Madam Speaker. But I do rise in opposition to this bill. The Affordable Insulin Now…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. We don't have a finer patriot and a more courageous warrior for freedom in the Congress, and I appreciate his leadership on this and so many issues. I appreciate him leading this discussion here on the…

Absolutely. You mentioned Secretary Mayorkas. He has said the border is secure. The border is secure he has said, when as you know we have lost operational control of our border. The Mexican crime cartels are making hundreds of millions of…

This proposed budget exposes either the incompetence or the deviousness of this Administration.

the federal government does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.

What I propose is we don't bankrupt the future of America and we don't do it on the backs of our children and our grandchildren.

Proposing to spend trillions of dollars on more woke wants not needs is absolutely shameful.

Would you say that this Administration is economically, financially, and fiscally incompetent and doesn't understand the consequences of this indefensible budget?

On that I demand the yeas and nays. =========================== NOTE =========================== March 15, 2022, on page H3728, in the third column, the following appeared: in the affirmative, the ayes have it. Mr. GOOD. Madam Speaker, on…

If Democrats want to help women, if they want to help women thrive in a post-pandemic economy, they ought to stop the inflationary spending that is undermining paychecks and family budgets.
