when it is like 95 percent to one party, 96 percent to one party, does that create an environment, perhaps, of a dislike or even hatred of the political party that they are not giving money to.

the people who run the unions, though, and who are presumably elected by your employees want to push contributions overwhelmingly to one group.

I am really glad that Chairman Comer is having this Committee.

I would like to thank Ms. Mace for working with me on this topic and for making this a joint Subcommittee hearing.

I congratulate the newest member of the Wisconsin delegation, Tony Wied, on being sworn in this evening. Tony joins our delegation with an impressive three-decade career of starting, building, and running three retail outlets in northeast…

It is great to be back on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. We wrapped up our election season last Tuesday. I participated in debates. Other people participated in debates. We are all ready to go after that inflation, that…

There are several things that we ought to be commenting on here. Earlier this week, the House passed the Senate companion to my legislation, the Congressional Budget Office Data Access Act. This important piece of legislation will improve…

I would like to discuss a few of the issues that the press should be covering in the next 6 weeks leading up to the election but probably will not. The first one, one more time, is the border. We are waiting right now for the results to…

We are in a crisis never before. To say that this is like anything we have seen under President Trump is not true.

The Biden-Harris Administration's refusal to secure the border and, instead, allow millions of poorly vetted aliens from all over the world to be released is not without cost, both human and economic.

This is obviously going to permanently change America.

This crisis did not result from lack of authority. The Biden Administration has all the tools it needs to end this crisis.

They could continue to build the wall, which a Border Patrol agent told us is a force multiplier in the mission to secure the border.

It is, to me, obvious anecdotally and from talking to my local law enforcement, that people who are here illegally are committing crimes and serious crimes--rapes, that sort of thing--which is horrific.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I don't know whether the people back home realize how rare it is for a Democrat to be calling upon a Republican to speak about a bill, but it is a testament to the size of our fiscal crisis and the fact…

I hope within the next few months, we are able to deal with this crisis and realize that you cannot be taking in 1.5 million or 2 million new people, 3 million new people every year, without fundamentally changing America.

When I go down there, I frequently talk to the people who are in charge of debriefing or doing a health inspection on the new immigrants.

The Biden-Harris Administration's open border policies have led to the worst border crisis in American history, by a mile.

There are a variety of issues that I think ought to be talked about, at least once, before we leave for our districts this Friday. They are topics I don't think the press is paying enough attention to, so one more time, I beg them to pay…

I was a little bit stunned when I came down here today to hear the argument made on pollution. I would just request that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle do some research as to the amount of pollution that came from cars 50…

I will comment on the horrific events of a week ago. For the second time in 3 months, President Donald Trump was the subject of an assassination attempt. The question is why and what can we do to prevent it from happening again. I have…

Had I been present, I would have voted NAY on Roll Call No. 432. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.

Well, it has been about 6 weeks now since Congress last met, and I think it is time to review some of the major issues of the day that I do not feel the mainstream press is doing an adequate job of covering. We continue to have people…

Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 403 and YEA on Roll Call No. 404. ____________________

Let's address some problems that ought to be covered by our mainstream media, but I don't feel are adequately being covered. One more time, I would like to review what is going on at the border. So the American citizens know, our fiscal…
