Most underprivileged student-athletes are on full scholarship, as football and basketball players, predominantly.

We want our kids to have the greatest opportunity to build the character we need to have the kind of preventing Americans we need down the road.

Most college student-athletes are in fact not on scholarship, and they are willing participants.

I believe we can find ways to protect the interests of student-athletes and their universities without distorting their relationship and changing the nature of college athletics.

This is ridiculous and will expose institutions to massive new liabilities and much higher costs.

As is typical in the Biden administration, the National Labor Relations Board wants to take something we all love, hyper regulate it, and make it more expensive.

It is abundantly clear the NLRB would rather pander to unions than prioritize the well-being of student-athletes.

Employee status will hurt student-athletes too as they will have less freedom, lower educational standards and revoked, or even taxed scholarships if they become employees.

I do not think the unlimited NIL, or the transfer portal, the recent developments that are so consequential, have improved college athletics.

I stand here today, again, opposing the status quo of more reckless spending in Washington. This House is supposedly run by Republicans, and yet here we are continuing to pass the Pelosi-Biden-Schumer spending levels and the policies…

I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding me the time. I appreciate it. Mr. Speaker, here we are again where the minority party isn't even using their time to oppose the bill put forward by the majority. Just 2 weeks ago, the last…

I thank Mr. Roy for yielding time. Here we go again. The more things change, the more things stay the same. Fourteen months ago, we asked the American people to give us the majority. They entrusted us with the majority, running primarily…

We could have utilized that momentum to attach border security to this continuing resolution. We could have then dared the Senate to vote against it and dared the Senate to vote against funding the government and securing the border, and…

I thank the chair for yielding. I certainly want to associate myself with the remarks that the gentlewoman so passionately and effectively espoused just a few moments ago. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Pregnant Students'…

As our colleague, our good friend from Maryland, just noted, this administration claims they don't have the resources or manpower to secure the border because MAGA Republicans, conservative Republicans, haven't given him those resources…

I would like to have a colloquy with the gentleman from Arizona regarding an illustration relative to the CBP One app.

Out of 240. The sector chief that we met with told us 4 out of 240 miles had been secured or patrolled, I should say, during this period of time before we had gotten there because the Border Patrol agents were busy processing illegals into…

It was $1.6 trillion, later increased and scored up to $4.6 trillion. And the deal that we heard about announced over the weekend, the deal between Senate and House leadership is $1.66 trillion, $20 billion higher than what the current…

Think about this, Mr. Speaker. If this Biden Federal Government was the local police and home burglaries were up, you have got rising crime, home burglaries, which are up under the Biden administration. In this case, if there were too many…

It is not any way to live. I have heard our Speaker say and members of our Conference echo him when he says that the border is the hill to die on, that the border is the fight to have. My question to them is: What does that mean? When…

the ALAA represents more than 2,700 public interest lawyers in the New York Metro Area, and on December 19, 2023, it passed a highly controversial resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

I thank my friend, Mr. Cloud from Texas, for holding this very important discussion here on the House floor because what we will be voting on tomorrow represents the very worst of Washington. I was thankful that back in the summer, for the…

I thank the chairwoman for the time this morning. I rise today in support of H.J. Res. 88, a resolution that will nullify President Biden's irresponsible student loan repayment plan. It is no secret that President Biden wants to borrow and…

I am here tonight, concerned about our country, and I am concerned about our willingness as Members of Congress to meet the moment, to stand in the gap, to validate the hope placed in us as the Republican majority, to stand in the gap and…

I appreciate his bringing up the supplemental, because I want to give Speaker Johnson credit for what he did with that House supplemental. The supplemental, the $106 billion package that was proposed by the President and the Senate…
