                         A BLANK CHECK FOR ICE

  (Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, today, once again, our Republican 
colleagues are coming to the House floor to write another blank check 
to ICE on the backs of the American people.
  One year ago, Republicans in this Chamber claimed they were going to 
lower the debt and give tax breaks to real Americans. Instead, they 
gave tax breaks to billionaires on the backs of the hardworking people 
across this country.
  They gave billions in funding to terrorize our communities. They gave 
billions in funding to ICE, billions in funding to the war machine that 
is currently raging overseas.
  Yet, here they are again in front of this Chamber this week asking 
for $70 billion with zero reforms to help the American people. That is 
why I am here to say: Hell, no, we are not writing another blank check 
to ICE, not a penny more.
