I sometimes wonder if we are seeing weather rather than climate in some of the discussion that we have here.

we should make sure that we are very circumspect about this and that we don't take actions on the public policy front that could end up harming not just our economy but also the environment.

public policy decisions emanate from this, and we are seeing some significant mistakes.

One of the concerns I have, Mr. Chairman, is that this is a backdoor WOTUS, the Waters of the United States, which the people of this country have rejected.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 287, nays 140, not voting 3, as…

I think it's really important, I mean, it's great to have a hearing like this at the federal level, but it really seems that if we want to see innovation and creativity being used here, it's once again, go to the states, the laboratory of…

To say that there is not a connection, as the Chair did, between illegal immigration and the juvenile justice system is simply inaccurate.

I do not like the cancel mob. I do not like the groupthink blob. We should not censor our own speech. That's not a habit we should teach. This isn't China or Iran. Free speech belongs to every man. This right belongs to women, too. To…

It is time to do that so that there is clear communication in what is supposed to be the greatest deliberative body created in the history of mankind.

I wanted to hear from the person who is closest to the people, and that is Miss Gonzalez.

While chaos reigns on the border, we have another Democrat jam job before us today. I would turn to the committee ranking member, the gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock), for a colloquy. Did the gentleman see these bills in the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 247, nays 174, not voting 8, as…

Reclaiming my time. These bills did not come before this committee. For someone like myself, who has just joined the committee, I did not even have a chance to be able to partake in this bill. I wanted to express concerns especially about…

I want to thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. Mr. Speaker, America's border is under siege, and it is a siege that this administration continues to encourage with each passing day. They say it is not a crisis or an emergency, even…

As we watched the Biden-created crisis at our southern border, the number of drugs that will be flooding through our borders is alarming.

The humanitarian crisis that is going on at the border is well documented here in this hearing.

This bill ignores the harm that anti-law enforcement rhetoric and unchecked violence have inflicted on our communities and our police. Since last year, we have seen businesses and communities terrorized, burned, and looted by criminal…

I filed an amendment with the Committee on Rules to close this loophole, one based on a bipartisan proposal introduced by Mr. Schiff and supported by Mr. Hoyer, Mr. Clyburn, and Speaker Pelosi in the 110th Congress. But the Committee on…

I thank the gentleman from Arkansas for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the amendment, specifically, a provision in here taking a trail in Wisconsin and turning it into National Park Service unit status. This…

While America and Congress' attention has been diverted from the real issues, we have seen something over the last couple of weeks that is going to compromise American security in three ways. One is national security; two, our economic…

My father once said to me: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. In the short time I have served in this body, one thing is clear: This is not a serious place. Last year, we watched as the other side delayed COVID…

I want to follow up on the comments from the Congressman from the First District of Michigan. Today, I recognize a good friend and great American, Tom Casperson, who passed away this weekend. Tom lived in Representative Bergman's district…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for yielding some time to me here this afternoon. First, we are setting up a picture here on the easel to the right of me. And what you see there are not the wildfires in California. What you see is a…

I would like to thank Leader McCarthy and the Members of the Wisconsin delegation in attendance here today. And I would like to thank Congressman Sensenbrenner for his kind introduction; I wish him the best as he concludes his years…
