I promised them that I would defend them. I promised them that I would defend their rights, and we will continue to do just that.

We have to step in and make it a felony to perform gender-affirming care.

To take the border and open it up--I would argue absolutely for political purposes--is a travesty.

These places were meant to be enjoyed by all--not turned into temporary housing as a result of a complicated immigration issue thousands of miles away.

Because you are not saying what Secretary Mayorkas said, that yes, we have control of the southern border...

the Biden administration has failed in its duty to enforce immigration law.

The bills before us today will secure our porous border, halt environmental degradation caused by illegal immigration, and ensure our national parks and public lands remain places for public enjoyment, not camps for illegal immigrants.

This is a direct result of January 20, 2021, when President Biden announced that there will be open borders to the world.

President Biden's border policies have resulted in numerous failures.

Shouldn't they be enforcing this if you can't?

This Committee and the American people will demand transparency from the Biden administration and senior officials like Secretary Haaland.

I would also like to highlight Representative Malliotakis' legislation, which would prevent Federal land managers, including the National Park Service, from housing illegal immigrants on Federal lands.

5.7 billion, that is the number of fatal doses of fentanyl that have flowed across our southern border in the past year.

This crisis is now spilling onto our Federal lands, which make up approximately 35 percent of the total 1,965 miles along the border.

I am not sure how many employees there are in the Department of the Interior, but I suspect they should be able to find someone that would attend a hearing, especially an important hearing like this.

The Biden administration's failed border policies have led to record numbers of migrant crossings and drug seizures reported this year.

The class-wide use of parole by the Biden administration violates the law.

We are declining on the world stage. Our economic well-being is in decline, and it is directly tied to having affordable energy.

life expectancy since 1980 has went up 13 years for the Native peoples that he represents up in Alaska.

Producing energy here in America can help people live a longer life, live a happier life.

I want this Committee to come Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to hear the story here.

The lockdowns led to higher crime is what I heard you say.

Here is part of the memo that I read last night from the State Department: You should not refer to Taiwan as a country or to the authorities of Taiwan as a government, instead, refer to Taiwan authorities or Taiwan counterparts. That is…

Why do we allow the State Department through a bureaucratic memo to impose these unnecessary and counterproductive limits on communication and cooperation with Taiwan? We don't have rules like this in place for the totalitarian rulers of…
