General Leave

Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their
remarks and include extraneous material on S. Con. Res 33 currently
under consideration.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Texas?
There was no objection.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, we are here because my Democrat colleagues have shut the
United States Government down, the Department of Homeland Security, for
now 74 days. They have held the American people hostage and have
imperiled the safety of every citizen of this country for their
ridiculous and even dangerous demands.
They are not serious. We had a four-corners agreement between
Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate. They reneged. If
it weren't for President Trump's intervention, we would have the
hardworking public servants at the Department of Homeland Security
going 100 days without pay.
Ask me, Mr. Speaker, how many days my Democrat colleagues have gone
without pay or how long they would tolerate going without pay.
Mr. Speaker, this isn't just about the inconvenience of long lines at
airports. This is an unprecedented national security and public safety
crisis.
This is the moment we take the keys from the kids, we say no more of
this nonsense, we open up the people's government, and we restore the
safety and the security of the American people.
Now, you will hear my colleagues, no doubt, say: If we could just
agree on some commonsense reforms, we would have opened up the
Department of Homeland Security. We would have been glad to work with
you.
But let's think about these commonsense reforms. To require this
administration to get a judicial warrant to expel criminal aliens from
our country, there is not a Democrat or Republican former Commander in
Chief who would ever find that acceptable.
In fact, these criminal aliens have had their day in immigration
court, and they have their orders to be expelled because they are not
here with cause. They are here with threat to my family and to my
community and to my great State of Texas and to this beloved country of
ours. It is unacceptable.
They would effectively stop all deportations. But we had an election
after 4 years of lawlessness and chaos at the southern border, crime,
criminals, and all kinds of criminal elements and drugs that killed
more people than the entire Vietnam war in 1 year.

{time} 1450

This President was elected to restore law and order. Rule of law in
this great civil society of ours has been an embarrassment for those 4
years. He has done it, and that is what the people sent us here to do.
That is the mandate they gave us, along with unified Republican
leadership.
There has been one wall of obstruction after another for this
President and this administration. That is one example of their
ridiculous, absurd, and unserious demands.
The other one is--I heard this at the Rules Committee, and I couldn't
believe my ears. They called our law enforcement agents, who risk their
lives to keep us safe--their families pray and

[[Page H3153]]

wait for their mom or dad to come home, wondering if something goes
wrong and the bad guys win that day, and they never see their family
member again. Yet, my Democrat colleague repeatedly referred to our
honorable ICE and CBP agents as masked thugs.
When evil is called good, and good is called evil--do you remember
that quote? Do you remember that admonition? These are the days.
Mr. Speaker, we have given 16 chances and all opportunities to vote
to turn this government of the people back on and support our ICE and
CBP agents, to protect our ports by funding our guardsmen, to protect
the CISA agents to protect our critical infrastructure while
cyberattacks are on the rise, and to resource our FEMA agency to be
ready to respond to our citizens in a natural disaster. They said no 16
times. No. Here we are, demasking our agents and calling them masked
thugs.
There is an 8,000-percent increase, Mr. Speaker, in death threats to
these gentlemen and gentlewomen who wear the badge, who wear the
uniform, and who protect the thin blue line, a 1,300-percent increase
in assaults, and a 3,200-percent increase in vehicular assaults.
We know who they are. We have made great efforts to identify each
agent so they would be held accountable if they did anything illegal or
inappropriate.
We have cartel members who have bounties of tens of thousands of
dollars on their heads. We have masked, leftist, radical, violent folks
who are assaulting them in the streets while they are trying to do
their dangerous jobs.
You want to know why we are here, Mr. Speaker? Do you want to know
why we are here, American people? That is why we are here. We say
enough is enough.
Today, we put forward this budget resolution with reconciliation
instructions to fund the people's homeland security, to protect our
citizens, and to do right by these hard-working, God-fearing public
servants who go to work every day not knowing if they are going to come
home.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Mr. Speaker, let me set the stage here for what has brought us to
this point.
Last year, over the course of the first 6 months of the year, mind
you, there was reconciliation 1.0. That was what the other side and the
President used to call the big, beautiful bill. Do you remember that?
You don't hear that phrase too much anymore. Do you know why? It is
one of the most unpopular pieces of legislation to pass Congress in
modern American history, with a more than 2-to-1 disapproval over
approval.
Why is that? Because the American people know what was in the bill.
The American people know that it throws more than 15 million Americans
off their healthcare--more than 17 million, according to one
nonpartisan service. In addition to that, it raises healthcare costs
for tens of millions more.
That is not all. It also cuts nutrition assistance, the biggest cuts
to the SNAP program in American history--on and on. I could take up the
next hour listing the cuts.
Why are those cuts in there? In order to fund the biggest tax breaks
for billionaires in American history, but that is not all. It is also
the biggest increase to our national debt in American history, and that
is not all. It also includes $140 billion--record funding, mind you--
for ICE and CBP.
That is what has set the stage for reconciliation 2.0, the bill that
is now in front of us.
This bill is quite different in that it is narrowly pertaining to
just two areas: ICE and CBP. That is interesting to me because one
thing the vast majority of the American people agree on--whether they
are Democrat, Republican, or Independent--is that costs keep going up.
They haven't come down in the last year and a half. They have only
gotten worse. They have only gotten higher.
That is no accident. It is not because of something like a terrorist
attack or the business cycle. No. It is directly because of this
President's reckless policies: trade policies that have spiked
inflation and a war in Iran that has taken the average price for a
gallon of gas from under $3 a gallon just 2 months ago to now over
$4.20 a gallon and rising.
You don't see anything in this reconciliation 2.0 to address anything
that I just discussed, any of the rising costs, any of the rising
healthcare costs, any of the rising costs at the supermarket--nothing,
nada, zilch, zero.
The only thing that is in this is another $70 billion for ICE and
CBP, on top of the record funding that was in the bill last year.
The American people simply want costs to come down, period.
Unfortunately, those priorities are not being met by this Republican
majority.
Now, I want to be clear: I believe--and sometimes this is
inconvenient on both sides of the aisle to say it. I strongly believe
in a strong border, period. What I don't believe in is any agency of
the government shooting and killing American citizens in the streets of
our country. I think the vast majority of the American people agree
with me that we need to have a secure border, but that we cannot have
any agency of our government carrying out killings on our streets.
We know that there are reforms that need to happen with ICE and CBP
in order to rein in the abuses that we have seen. Unfortunately, none
of that is in the bill before us. Instead, it is just showering them
with additional billions of dollars that they simply don't need.
Mr. Speaker, I really hope we can get back soon to a budget bill that
addresses the needs and concerns of the American people. Unfortunately,
that is not the one that is presently before us. The American people
deserve far better.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately and conveniently, some of
my Democrat friends have had a bad case of amnesia. I am going to
remind the American people that when Joe Biden and the Democrats had
control of this town, this Chamber, Congress, and the White House, they
took inflation from 1.4 percent all the way past 9 percent.

{time} 1500

We had a 22-percent increase cumulative of prices of everyday goods
that Americans depend on.
It was Joe Biden and the Democrats who lit the fuse on the
inflationary firestorm that the American people, especially working
Americans, suffered. The average inflation rate during the Joe Biden-
Kamala Harris era was 5 percent.
Inflation is down. The average inflation under this President,
President Trump, is 2.7 percent. Wages are up. Business investment is
up, growth and GDP are up, and there is money in people's pockets,
because had we relied on the Democrats, then we would have seen a
$1,700-a-month tax hike on the American people. However, we said no tax
on tips, no more tax on working people with respect to overtime or
seniors on a fixed income.
I am very proud of what we did as one strategy to provide much-needed
relief after the cost-of-living crisis that was caused by the unbridled
spending and failed economic policies of my Democratic colleagues.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce the American people to a great
man and patriot. Lloyd Smucker is a dear friend and the vice chairman
of the Budget Committee.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Smucker).
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I would just like to respond to some of the comments of
my friend, the ranking member of the Budget Committee, who is also from
Pennsylvania, just to say that in regards to the tax bill, the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act, I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, individuals, families,
and wage earners in my district are feeling the impact of that bill
when they are filing their taxes.
They like the no tax on tips that so many in my district have taken
advantage of and the no tax on overtime that so many have taken
advantage of. I have had many seniors come to me and say that they had
a lot more in their pockets after they filed their taxes this year.
I will put up our economic record in the last year, the impact on
people in

[[Page H3154]]

our districts, against that of the Biden administration anytime. We
have an economy that is growing quickly. We have inflation at a
manageable spot, and people are feeling it in their pocketbooks.
I was happy to hear the ranking member say that he supports a secure
border, because, Mr. Speaker, you certainly wouldn't have known that
during the past administration when Democrats were in control and we
had thousands of people pouring across this border every single day,
including individuals who were criminals, who were members of gangs,
including drugs flowing across the border, and Democrats did nothing to
stop that.
I will tell you, Mr. Speaker, in my district, when I talk to people
of all political stripes, Democrats and Republicans alike, they support
removing people from this country who are criminals and who are here
illegally. They support the work of ICE in doing that. Democrats
obviously do not. A shutdown should never be used.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Haridopolos). The time of the gentleman
has expired.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the
gentleman from Pennsylvania.
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, we should never use a government shutdown
to achieve any policy benefits. We have seen Democrats do that time and
time again. We certainly shouldn't be using it to not fund those who
are keeping Americans safe and who are removing criminals from our
country.
That is what this bill is about today. We shouldn't be funding this
in this way. It should be done through a regular appropriations bill,
but we were not able to do that because we did not have Democrat
support.
I don't like necessarily the way we are doing this, but there have to
be grownups in the room, and those are Republicans right now who are
going to ensure that those people who are working hard to keep
Americans safe every day are going to be able to count on a paycheck at
the end of the week.
This is an important bill. It is very unfortunate that Democrats
continue to shut down the government over this issue, but Republicans
are going to stand for the safety and security of the American people.
It is the number one thing that every one of us as elected officials
should be doing. We should be ensuring that American individuals,
American citizens, are safe and secure.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from California (Mr. Panetta), who is a distinguished member
of the Budget Committee.
Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Speaker, the Republican budget resolution does
nothing to end the shutdown. It does nothing to reform ICE; yet it does
everything to give ICE and CBP $70 billion more.
Mr. Speaker, I support a strong and secure border, but the Trump
deportation policy goes way beyond going after felons and gang members.
The last Republican reconciliation bill injected $190 billion into DHS,
leading to thousands of untrained ICE and CBP agents being injected
into our communities.
They called themselves law enforcement, but they acted with
lawlessness, trolling big box store parking lots, causing chaos in our
communities, deaths to American citizens, and they were allowed to act
with impunity.
I said: No more funding until they transform, reform, and retrain
with commonsensical law enforcement protocols and procedures.
Now, I hate shutdowns, but, Mr. Speaker, if you allow a vote on the
bipartisan Senate bill today, we can open and pay the TSA, Coast Guard,
Cybersecurity, and FEMA.
However, Mr. Speaker, instead of working us across the aisle, the
purely partisan resolution that just funds ICE without any reforms
demonstrates, once again, you are going it alone. You are doing nothing
to lower costs. You are adding to our debt and deficit. You are giving
in to the President, and you are giving up on our constitutional
responsibilities.

I am voting ``no'' not just because I am for reforming ICE, but I am
standing up to this administration, and I am living up to my oath of
office.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, instead of the absurd demands of asking for judicial
warrants after immigration judges have ruled that these criminal aliens
are not with cause, for heaven's sakes, in our country, we included
body cameras, millions of dollars. The President reviewed protocols
included and strengthened training programs.
Here is the root cause of what people saw on their TV sets at night
when they saw the mayhem and they saw the chaos: It was lawless
sanctuary cities, rogue leaders who incited violence against our law
enforcement officers while they were doing a dangerous job to rid our
country of criminal aliens.
Mr. Speaker, how in the world do we expect them to do this job when
we have State and local leaders who refuse to cooperate, who thumb
their noses at the rule of law, and who make things not only more
difficult but more dangerous for the men and women in uniform who
courageously protect us every day?
Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from the great State
of Utah (Mr. Moore).
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, one trick that you see back here in
Washington politics is when the opposing side is arguing in defense of
the indefensible, they will say: I support border security but . . .
there is always a but.
What we have seen for the last 5\1/2\ years since President Biden
took over in 2021 to today is very simply laid out in the following
three strategies: Leave the border wide open, then create a bunch of
sanctuary cities, and then refuse to fund immigration and Border
Patrol.
If you look at those three things, Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what
they are doing. Now they are forcing us to go at it alone, when for
decades, longer than that, Republicans and Democrats have always been
able to come together and support a homeland security bill, but they
refuse to support ICE and CBP.
S. Con. Res. 33 is a critical step in delivering on the key policy
mandate that voters gave Congress: to secure the southern border and
end the national crisis that is mass migration.
I would much rather fund and regulate the Department of Homeland
Security and immigration enforcement through regular appropriations. My
colleagues on the other side of the aisle have made that impossible.
This is not a serious way to govern. It is irresponsible, and it is
dangerous.
Congress should not play with the livelihoods of servicemembers at
the Coast Guard, Transportation Security Agency, or the Secret Service
to secure a political win. We cannot restrict resources at a time like
this, especially amid recent threats to White House officials and
national security concerns.
We are now forced to run a narrowly focused partisan reconciliation
process to provide necessary funding to ICE and CBP and their
operational and support components to last through the Trump
administration.
The Trump administration has made great strides in securing the
border and removing those who have entered our country illegally, which
will alleviate strains on local law enforcement and hospital systems.
It will help lower insurance premiums and put downward pressure on
housing prices in the long term.

{time} 1510

Supporting this resolution will ensure we can build on the success
and continue to provide a safe environment for American families to
thrive. This also does a very important thing by setting our projected
deficit on a path toward 3 percent of GDP.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 20 seconds to the
gentleman from Utah.
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I will end there. I thank the
chairman for the additional time.
Mr. Speaker, we need to take our finances seriously and put us on a
path toward 3 percent debt to GDP.
I urge my colleagues to support this budget resolution.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett), a distinguished member of the
Budget Committee.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, ICE has become another three-letter word
for

[[Page H3155]]

lie: lies about immigrants as an excuse for racist and un-American
policies; lies about dead American citizens like Renee Good and Alex
Pretti; lies about outrageous conditions at detention centers like
Dilley, Texas, where measles spread and children are fed infested food
with worms; lies really to all of us that the Trump regime is merely
concerned about dangerous criminals when, in fact, their dragnet picks
up anyone who happens to get in the way no matter how much that
immigrant teacher, immigrant construction worker, immigrant small
business owner or healthcare worker are contributing to their
community.
While we have simply asked that ICE meet the standards that we expect
of our local law enforcement, this bill is designed to let ICE continue
its rampage across America totally unrestrained.
What we should be doing is using the $70 billion that this Republican
bill showers on ICE and CBP to instead address the affordability crisis
that our American families are facing because of Trump's continued
mismanagement, his reckless, endless war in Iran, and his illegal
tariffs.
That $70 billion, think of what it could accomplish. With it, we
could restore affordable access to a family physician for millions of
American families.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30
seconds to the gentleman from Texas.
Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, we could restore access to a family
physician for millions of American families who no longer have it
thanks to the Republican action. Or, we could instead choose to provide
for our future by ensuring that every single 3- and 4-year-old in
America can access pre-K.
But instead of helping working families, Republicans insist that we
shower more tax dollars on a rogue agency that already has entirely too
much funding to continue its mission of ripping families apart and
detaining babies.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, let's play back the tape: 4 years, wide-open border
flooding the zone, and by the zone I mean the entire country, crime,
criminals, drugs, record number of people on the terrorist watch list,
record number of people from countries of interest, record number of
illegal immigrants dying in the desert, record number of humans
trafficked to this country; record, record, record, open border,
disaster.
Now, after this mess, when we have to get the brave men and women to
go clean up the streets from the criminals that roam in the great
cities of this country and threaten our citizens, they want to call
them what I heard in Rules Committee, masked thugs. That is what they
are calling our law enforcement officers.
I guess we shouldn't be too surprised because that is the party that
wanted to defund the police. That is the party with the battle cry,
``Defund ICE.'' That is the party which, at the top of their ticket in
the last Presidential election, had a Presidential nominee who compared
ICE to the KKK, and her Vice President compared them to the gestapo.
No, no, sir, Mr. Speaker, I am not surprised, not surprised that now
that they created this self-inflicted disaster and mess, and our brave
ICE officers are trying to clean it up, that they would want to impede
them and insult them, but they only insult law-abiding American
citizens, I assure you that.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina
(Mr. McDowell), my dear friend from the Tar Heel State and a member of
the Budget Committee.
Mr. McDOWELL. Mr. Speaker, I think it is important that we point out
that as our Democratic colleagues across the aisle are pointing a
finger at us, there are three fingers pointing back at them.
What we need to look at is exactly what they have done. For the last
4 years of Joe Biden, they let all of these people into our country. We
are trying to get rid of them. There was a mandate by the American
people for us to do that. That is what we are trying to do.
We are also trying to do one of our very basic functions as Congress,
which is to pass appropriations bills. While they want to blame us, I
will remind them that each time that has come up, it has passed out of
this Chamber with bipartisan support, and then it has gone to the
Senate where it has died.
The President, the Senate, our leadership, they have tried to come to
an agreement. They will not let us. That is exactly what is happening.
Mr. Speaker, this is day 74, 74 days, that is exactly how long the
Department of Homeland Security has been shut down, 74 days, Mr.
Speaker.
Let's be clear about one thing: Democrats have forced this shutdown
to defund law enforcement and gamble with the safety of our country.
They are pushing an agenda that leads to lawlessness in our
communities. They are willing to let dangerous, illegal aliens,
murderers, rapists, and drug traffickers walk our streets and destroy
our communities. They are even willing to force Americans to stand in
long TSA lines simply as leverage to force their agenda.

Maybe they were fine with the millions of illegal aliens who were
released into our communities under the Biden administration, and maybe
they were fine with the massive flow of drugs that poured across our
southern border, but my constituents were not, Mr. Speaker. The
American people were not. House Republicans will keep the promises that
we made. We will do what it takes to keep Americans safe and secure.
Despite the Democratic resistance, we will stand on principles and
deliver for the American people. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote to
get us back on track to fully reopening the Department of Homeland
Security.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Boy, that sounds like a scary hellscape that the last couple speakers
on the other side have described. I am just glad they are not talking
about the United States because in the country where I live, actually
specifically in my city of Philadelphia, the murder rate is lower today
than at any point in the 1960s. There are a lot of American cities
right now that have the lowest violent crime rate in my lifetime.
I can understand, though, why they want to talk about anything but
costs because right now, according to one opinion poll, the American
people are more pessimistic today about their own economic future than
they were even in the depths of the Great Recession, and they rate this
President the lowest job approval on the economy since George W. Bush
in the middle of the Great Recession. You can understand why they want
to talk about anything except for costs and the financial livelihoods
of most American households.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Virginia
(Mr. Scott), the distinguished ranking member of the Education and
Workforce Committee and also a member of the Budget Committee.
Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, we are talking about the budget.
For years, my Republican colleagues have sanctimoniously spoken about
the need to reduce the deficit but continuously vote for spending bills
that add trillions of dollars to the Federal deficit.
The CBO estimates that last year's big, ugly bill will add $3.4
trillion to the deficit by 2034. This bill is not even serious. They
didn't even bring it to committee. They just brought it to the floor.
It continues the pattern of Presidential administrations, every
Republican administration since Nixon has left for the Democrats a
worse deficit than they inherited. By the way, every Democratic
administration since Kennedy has left for the Republicans a better
deficit than they inherited, all without exceptions.
Now they are back here with misguided budget priorities. This does
nothing to lower costs and make life better for the American people. It
does give $70 billion to ICE after they violated the Constitution,
killed Americans, and refused to agree to Democratic demands that they
conform to the same standards as other law enforcement officers, like
get a warrant before you go into somebody's house, don't use
unconstitutional excessive force, don't deport citizens. We should be
investing in education, healthcare, childcare, and job creation. This
bill doesn't do it, and that is why we ought to vote ``no.''

[[Page H3156]]

{time} 1520

Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, just a note on cost: When the Democrats controlled
Congress and the White House, they spent a record $12 trillion. Now, $5
trillion of that is because of the record interest rate hikes that were
associated with an almost half-century high inflation. Combined, we are
talking about, again, almost $12 trillion.
Mr. Speaker, what did we get for that? What did the American people,
the shareholders, get for that? What return did our citizens get for
that ``investment''? They got green energy subsidies to corporations,
which were a disaster for our energy economy. It made the prices of gas
and electricity for our consumers skyrocket.
The American people got tens of thousands of IRS agents. They
expanded the IRS by $80 billion because that is what they thought the
American people needed after a 22-percent increase in prices. They
bailed out student loan programs, schools that wouldn't open, and the
union pension fund. It was one bailout after another. It is hard to
keep up with it.
If you go back and look at the executive order from President Biden
and Vice President Kamala Harris at the time, they actually provided
healthcare at the cost of taxpayers to people in this country
illegally, and we wonder why we had record numbers of illegal
immigrants pouring into this country.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Jordan), my friend from the Buckeye State and the House's chairman of
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, why are the Democrats doing it? Why would they shut down
the Department of Homeland Security for 74 days? Why would they do that
when we have had a third assassination attempt on the President of the
United States, while we are in the middle of a military operation in
Iran, and when we have had terrorist attacks here on the homeland? Why
would they do it?
The simple answer is: They don't want a border. They don't want a
border. They have said it, but look at their plan. In 4 years of Joe
Biden, they let in 10 million illegal migrants. Then, they create
sanctuary jurisdictions all over the country, which makes it difficult
to remove illegal migrants who commit another crime. Now, they say,
don't pay the guys who do the removing. Let's don't pay ICE. They let
in 10 million and create sanctuary jurisdictions.
By the way, 18 cities, 11 States, 3 counties, and the District of
Columbia are sanctuary jurisdictions. Because they are big, blue cities
in big, blue States, that represents almost a third of the country that
lives in a jurisdiction where the politicians tell local law
enforcement not to work with Federal law enforcement when it comes to
enforcing Federal law.
Now, they say don't pay the guys who enforce Federal law. Don't pay
ICE.
It is not enough that the leftwing agitators out there have doxed
them, tracked them, spit on them, sworn at them, threatened them, and
attacked them. That is not enough. Now, we are not going to pay them.
We are not going to pay them. That is their plan, and it is all because
they don't want a border in our country.
There was an election where the people said we want a border, and
that is why this bill and the good work that Chairman Arrington and the
Budget Committee have done is so darn important.
We shouldn't have to pass this kind of bill. It should have been done
in the appropriation bill, but nope. They are going to shut the
government down for 74 days because they don't want a border.
They let in 10 million. They create sanctuary jurisdictions so it is
difficult to remove them. Then, they don't want to pay the guys who do
the removing.
That is their plan, and the country needs to know that, plain and
simple. But here comes the Budget Committee and Republicans to say that
we are going to do something to pay the guys. We will have to do it via
reconciliation.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the Budget Committee and the chairman for doing
the work. I urge a ``yes'' vote.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar), a distinguished member of the
Budget Committee.
Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this
Republican effort to funnel another $70 billion to ICE and CBP to
continue their inhumane, illegal, and reprehensible actions.
This effort is even more incomprehensible considering it comes after
Trump and congressional Republicans already created an $85 billion
slush fund for ICE during the last budget reconciliation process.
In my district, ICE has used the money to terrorize Minnesotans,
particularly our Black and Brown communities, through Operation Metro
Surge. We watched in horror as ICE agents murdered our neighbors, Renee
Good and Alex Pretti, in broad daylight. We witnessed our neighbors
being snatched off the street and pulled from their homes and cars
without a warrant. We saw dozens of children ripped away from their
families, friends, and schools, shipped to detention centers out of
State.
Our communities are still recovering from that devastation caused by
the Federal occupation and the blatant trampling of the rights we as
Americans hold dear. We cannot send this rogue and unaccountable agency
another cent.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.''
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman
from Tennessee (Mr. Van Epps).
Mr. VAN EPPS. Mr. Speaker, congressional Democrats have kept the
Department of Homeland Security shut down for more than 70 days. During
this time, the critical services that DHS provides to the American
people are, at best, disrupted and, at worst, paused entirely.
This comes as we prepare for the busiest travel season ever,
celebrating our founding and welcoming visitors from around the world.
It also comes during a threat environment unlike any other.

The previous administration welcomed unvetted migrants across our
border for 4 years. There have been three assassination attempts
against this sitting President, and cyber threats targeting our
critical infrastructure are accelerating.
The threats are persistent, and they are here within our borders.
Mr. Speaker, it is high time we empower these agencies to accomplish
their crucial mission, and I urge my colleagues to support this budget
resolution.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Jayapal), a distinguished member of
the Budget Committee.
Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, this budget resolution is a total insult to
the American people. Instead of addressing the rising prices of gas,
groceries, housing, childcare, the things that actually allow people to
survive in an economy that Republicans have rigged for the
billionaires, this resolution puts another $70 billion into ICE and
CBP. That is on top of the $170 billion slush fund that was given to
these agencies in the Republican's big, bad betrayal bill last year
that allowed ICE and CBP to carry out a violent, cruel,
unconstitutional campaign of terror in communities across this country,
killing Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota; conducting a campaign
of mass detentions, detaining an unprecedented number of people, which
has resulted in a record 47 deaths; locking up children and using them
as bait for their parents; and terrorizing schools, churches, and
hospitals with their activity.
Meanwhile, Republicans refuse to address the rising costs that
Americans are dealing with because this administration refuses to put
the people first.
Americans of every political stripe do not want more money to go to
ICE's slush fund. What they want is real reforms to ICE and CBP to rein
in the lawlessness. What they want is for the administration to get
serious about cutting their costs instead of catering to Trump's
cronies. Vote ``no'' on this resolution.

{time} 1530

Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

[[Page H3157]]

Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Chu), also a member of the Budget
Committee.
Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, for yet another week, Republicans have brought
us legislation that does absolutely nothing to lower the cost of
groceries, housing, or healthcare. Instead, they want another $140
billion to expand their lawless deportation machine. Not one penny will
make life more affordable for people. In fact, this bill fails to
implement the most basic commonsense reforms to ICE and CBP.
Trump's immigration agents have ripped hundreds of thousands of
people from their families, jobs, and communities. Nearly 60,000 people
are trapped in ICE detention, almost half with no criminal record, and
48 people have died in ICE custody.
Their anti-immigrant agenda is killing people--people like my
constituent, Carlos Montoya, a 52-year-old father and grandfather. When
ICE agents raided a Home Depot just minutes from my district, Carlos
was so frightened that he fled and was tragically struck and killed by
a car on the freeway. This administration is instilling so much terror
that people are willing to risk their lives to escape.
Republicans' big, ugly bill already handed ICE $170 billion, and now
they want another $140 billion to keep kidnapping children, tackling
grandmothers to the ground, raiding car washes, and shooting innocent
people. Yet, somehow they keep insisting that there is no money for
healthcare, food assistance, or housing.
Vote ``no'' on this bill.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, just, again, setting the record straight for the
American people, the only moneys we are spending are moneys that the
Democrats in the House and Senate agreed with us to spend to operate
the Department of Homeland Security, including ICE and CBP. Then, they
reneged on it. They went back on their word, and they shut the
Department of Homeland Security down for over 70 days.
All we are doing is using reconciliation, a budgetary tool, to fund
ICE and CBP because they want to defund ICE and CBP.
I mean, you hear it in their rhetoric. I mentioned the masked thugs
and the comparison to the KKK. They are talking about protecting the
illegal immigrant, but you haven't heard a word about Laken Riley and
her family. You haven't heard anything about Jocelyn Nungaray and her
family or the thousands upon thousands of American citizens whose lives
are forever changed because of the harm that was perpetrated upon them
from an illegal, criminal alien who was allowed into this country with
impunity because our President at the time was derelict in his duty to
uphold the laws of the land because he refused to provide for the
common defense. When Texas and other States tried to protect their
citizens, they were harassed and obstructed at every turn.
What choice do we have: go back to the open border and a sanctuary
Nation for criminal aliens? That is not acceptable to Republicans, and
that is not acceptable to the people in the popular vote, in the
electoral vote, or in every swing State. They sent us here to put
America first and the American people first and to restore law and
order.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
Mr. Speaker, listen for the dog that didn't bark. Do you notice what
the other side hasn't mentioned once during this debate--a debate, mind
you, on a reconciliation budget bill--nothing about cost; nothing about
their plan to bring down the cost of gas, which had the biggest monthly
increase in my lifetime thanks to this administration's policies;
nothing to make healthcare more affordable; nothing about childcare to
make that more affordable; nothing to make housing more affordable;
nothing at all about that.
They have nothing to say because they have no plan, and they don't
have one dime for any of that in their bill.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from the
Commonwealth of Kentucky (Mr. McGarvey), a distinguished member of the
Budget Committee.
Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this Republican
budget.
Last year, my Republican colleagues forced through a budget that gave
ICE over $80 billion.
Let's put that in perspective: Last year, ICE got more than double
the amount that they got during the entirety of Trump's first
Presidency, but somehow that is not enough.
Now, they are trying to push through another $70 billion with no
reforms, no accountability, no strings attached, nothing. That is $70
billion in taxpayer dollars for an agency responsible for kidnapping
people off the street, murdering U.S. citizens, separating families,
detaining children, and breaking down doors without warrants.
That is $70 billion in taxpayer dollars for masked, armed, and
untrained agents who don't answer to anyone; $70 billion in taxpayer
dollars for a campaign of terror directed at our own neighbors, while
the rest of the country struggles to feed their families, pay rent, go
to the doctor, and keep the lights on.
I am so tired of hearing that we don't have enough money for our
schools and hospitals, no money to make sure that our veterans are
taken care of, no money to make sure that everyone has a roof over
their head, and no money for healthcare. I mean, just a couple of weeks
ago, we were told that we don't even have the money to make sure that
pregnant women can have fruits and vegetables.
Yet, the second that Trump needs more money to bankroll his own
personal police force, Republicans in Congress can move mountains. For
ICE, we have $70 billion. For everyone else, nothing.

This is intentional. It is a choice, and it is the wrong one.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Mr. Speaker, again, I remind my colleagues and friend that the
average gas price under Joe Biden and the Democratic leadership was
over $5 per gallon. Under President Trump, it is just a little over $3
per gallon.
He talks about cost, but if you look at the CBO, which is a
nonpartisan scorekeeper, they would tell you that in the first 6 months
of this fiscal year, compared to the last 6 months of the last fiscal
year, the deficit has actually gone down for the first time in almost a
decade by $138 billion.
That is not me telling you that. That is not conjecture on the part
of either party. It is the watchdog, scorekeeper, nonpartisan, telling
you that when we held the line to control spending on the discretionary
side for the last 4 years, we have saved almost $500 billion. The One
Big Beautiful Bill Act is big and beautiful because we protected tax
dollars, and we preserved the safety nets for American citizens who
need them and depend on them.
Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a letter from the CBO about the
Medicaid coverage impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Congressional Budget Office,

U.S. Congress

Washington, DC, June 24, 2025.
Re Information Concerning Medicaid-Related Provisions in
Title IV of H.R. 1.

Hon. Jodey Arrington,
Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Hon. Brett Guthrie,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Commerce,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC
Dear Chairman Arrington and Chairman Guthrie: You have
asked the Congressional Budget Office for information
concerning changes to insurance coverage that would occur
under H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as passed by
the House of Representatives on May 22, 2025. You asked
specifically about changes related to Medicaid under title
IV, Energy and Commerce.
CBO estimates that enacting the Medicaid provisions in
title IV would increase the number of people without health
insurance by 7.8 million in 2034 relative to baseline
projections under current law. Of that number:
About 4.8 million would be able-bodied adults between the
ages of 19 and 64 who have no dependents and who do not meet
the community engagement requirement in section 44141 for
participating in work-related activities at least 80 hours a
month.
About 1.4 million would be people who do not meet
citizenship and immigration status requirements for Medicaid
enrollment but who would be covered under current law in
programs funded by the states.

[[Page H3158]]

About 2.2 million would become uninsured because of other
provisions in H.R. 1. including provisions increasing the
frequency of verification of eligibility to enroll in
Medicaid or those that would lead states to change their
Medicaid enrollment requirements in response to federal
policy changes.
CBO estimates that the interactions among the policies
would, on net, reduce the number of people without health
insurance by 600,000 in 2034 relative to the sum of the
estimated effects of the individual policies because some
people would become uninsured under more than one policy.
You asked several questions about the number of people who
would be enrolled in Medicaid under the legislation and about
the number of people who would not have health insurance
under H.R. 1. You also asked about the effects on state
Medicaid spending under H.R. 1.
For the number of individuals estimated to be without
health insurance in 2034 as a result of the Medicaid policies
in H.R. 1, what share would be eligible for other health
insurance subsidies but would be estimated to not
participate?
CBO estimates that of the projected increase of 7.8 million
people without health insurance in 2034, 1.6 million would
have access to, but would not take up, other forms of
subsidized coverage, such as premium tax credits for
insurance purchased through the marketplaces established by
the Affordable Care Act or employment-based coverage; that
number also includes people who would remain eligible for
Medicaid but would not enroll.
For which provisions in H.R. 1 does CBO estimate that there
would be an increase in the number of people without health
insurance resulting from state discretion in the management
of enrollment within their own Medicaid programs? What does
CBO estimate would be the effect on the number of people
without health insurance under those policies?
CBO estimates that enacting several sections would reduce
resources available to states to fund their Medicaid programs
or state-funded insurance programs:
Section 44107 would eliminate the authority of the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services to waive penalties for
payment errors and would reduce federal funding to states for
errors in eligibility determinations.
Section 44111 would reduce the federal matching rate for
people enrolled in Medicaid under the expansion of the
program provided in the Affordable Care Act from 90 percent
to 80 percent for any state that uses its own funds to
provide coverage to certain immigrants through state
programs.
Section 44132 would prevent states from increasing current
tax rates on providers and bar them from creating new tax
arrangements for providers.
Section 44134 would make additional changes to what
constitutes a permissible provider tax and would effectively
limit collections of those taxes in certain states.
CBO expects that in response to those provisions, states
would modify their Medicaid or state-funded insurance
programs to curtail their spending by reducing provider
payment rates, reducing the scope or amount of optional
services, and reducing Medicaid enrollment.
CBO estimates that state responses to those provisions
would increase the number of people without health insurance
by a total of 2.0 million in 2034.
Does CBO estimate that the Medicaid provisions in H.R. 1
would result in a net decrease in state spending on the
Medicaid program, before accounting for how states respond to
the federal policy changes, and if so by how much?
CBO estimates that, if combined, enacting all of the
Medicaid provisions in H.R. 1 would reduce the states' total
share of spending on Medicaid by $13.1 billion, on net. over
the 2025-2034 period. Some provisions would reduce state
spending, and some would increase it. CBO estimates that over
the 2025-2034 period, provisions that make changes to program
eligibility and enrollment processes, as well as some payment
changes, would cause states' spending to decline by $214.4
billion. Reductions in federal or other resources available
to state programs would cause states' spending to rise by
$201.3 billion.
What is the number of individuals whose citizenship,
nationality, or satisfactory immigration status is not
verifIed, but would be covered under current law in programs
funded by states?
CBO estimates that enacting section 44111 would increase
the number of people without health insurance by 1.4 million
in 2034 because, in order to maintain the 90 percent federal
matching rate, most states would stop using state-only funds
to provide health insurance coverage to people who do not
meet citizenship and immigration status requirements for
Medicaid enrollment.
What are the changes in the number of uninsured people that
would be associated with provisions aimed at verifying
eligibility for the Medicaid program, specifically sections
44102 and 44108 of H.R. 1?
Section 44102 would prevent one part of what is termed the
Eligibility and Enrollment final rule from being implemented,
administered, or enforced through the end of 2034. That part
of the rule changes the way that states process applications
and renewals for coverage under Medicaid and the Children's
Health Insurance Program. For example, the rule specifies
that states can only conduct eligibility determinations for
people who are aged, blind, and disabled once a year--less
frequently than under some states' prior practices. The rule
also specifies that states cannot require in-person
interviews during eligibility redeterminations for that group
of enrollees. CBO expects that enacting section 44102 of H.R.
1 would reduce enrollment as states returned to earlier
administrative practices.
CBO estimates that enacting section 44102 would increase
the number of people without health insurance by 600,000 in
2034.
Section 44108 would require states to redetermine Medicaid
eligibility every six months, instead of once a year, for
some enrollees. CBO expects that enacting the section would
result in some people being removed from the program sooner
than would occur under current law.
CBO estimates that enacting section 44108 would increase
the number of people without health insurance by 700,000 in
2034.
In CBO's baseline, how many individuals are enrolled in
Medicaid in 2025 and how many are enrolled in 2034? How many
would be enrolled in 2034 under H.R. 1?
In CBO's January 2025 baseline projections, 85.0 million
people will be enrolled in Medicaid this year, rising to 90.0
million in 2034. CBO estimates that under H.R. 1, 79.5
million people would be enrolled in Medicaid in 2034--10.5
million fewer than under current-law projections.
In CBO's baseline, what is total federal Medicaid spending
in 2025 and in 2034? What would total federal Medicaid
spending be in each of those years accounting for the effects
of H.R. 1?
In CBO's January 2025 baseline, the agency estimates $655.9
billion in Medicaid spending in 2025, increasing to $985.7
billion by 2034. CBO estimates that enacting the Medicaid
provisions of H.R. 1 would reduce Medicaid spending by $125.2
billion in 2034, to total $860.5 billion that year.
I hope this information is useful to you. Please contact me
if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
Phillip L. Swagel,
Director.

Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, do you know what the letter says? Let me
summarize. The millions of people who are no longer on Medicaid or SNAP
are people who don't qualify to be on there. They are people who are in
this country illegally, and they were people who refused to work even
though they are able to work. Hardworking taxpayers are willing to
support their fellow Americans, but it is a social compact, and there
is a responsibility. That is what we did as Republicans.
Mr. Speaker, that is what the American people sent us here to do.
We can talk about the cost. Deficits are coming down. There is more
money in people's pockets. Safety nets are being restored, protected,
and preserved for the American citizens who depend on them. We are
protecting tax dollars, and we are looking out for our kids and future
vulnerable Americans who need these programs that are unsustainable
because my Democratic colleagues haven't lifted a finger to help us
root out waste and fraud.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

{time} 1540

Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, just to fact check here what
we heard, the previous speaker said that the national average for a
gallon of gas is $3 a gallon. No, that is what it was 2 months ago.
Today, as of literally just a few moments ago when I checked, the
national average is $4.22 a gallon. Again, last month was the largest
monthly increase in the price of gas since 1967.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Rhode
Island (Mr. Amo), a member of the Budget Committee.
Mr. AMO. Mr. Speaker, Rhode Islanders have had enough of Trump's
reign of terror. Across my State, they know when so-called enforcement
becomes intimidation, when profiling and abuse are rampant, and when
accountability is absent.
Now, instead of restoring trust or lowering costs, Republicans are
doing it again. Their first big, ugly bill ripped billions out of our
healthcare system that will make millions sicker and poorer, all to
spend $170 billion on ICE and CBP's rogue tactics.
Now this budget doubles down on that spending spree, dumping another
$70 billion of taxpayer funding into the same cruel system without any
reforms.
So here it is. They are using your money not to lower costs for gas,
groceries, rent, or healthcare, not to help people, but to fund raids,
roundups, and fear in American communities.
I will not stand by while costs rise, rights are trampled, and
working families are left behind. So we have a

[[Page H3159]]

choice. Use your tax dollars to fund masked men and their masked raids
or help families put food on the table, keep a roof over their head,
and stay healthy.
I choose families. I urge a ``no'' vote on this latest Republican
budget betrayal.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin), the always eager gentleman and
the distinguished ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, last year, devil-may-care, footloose, free-
spending, Trump-enabling MAGA Republicans cut ICE and CBP a check from
the American people for $170 billion with no oversight, no
accountability, and no programmatic details.
And in the months since they passed their staggeringly irresponsible
budget-busting, debt-enlarging big, beautiful bill, the American people
have seen the consequences of handing billions of dollars to a rogue
agency headed up by terrible leaders like Kristi Noem.
ICE now routinely tramples the constitutional rights of the people.
It thumbs its nose at Federal court orders, and it brings fear and
terror to communities across the country.
Look at what Federal courts have said about ICE, which didn't just
lie about the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. In dozens of
cases, Federal judges have found that ICE officials are lying in court.
A Reagan-appointed judge rejected the testimony of the acting ICE
director as ``disingenuous, squalid, and dishonorable.'' Another judge
called the affidavit of a top ICE official: The sorriest statement I
have ever seen in court and said that if you were asking to get a
warrant issued on this I would throw you out of my chambers.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30
seconds to the gentleman from Maryland.
Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, now our colleagues, rather than deal with
the reality of what they have created, a monster year with American
citizens being shot down in cold blood at point blank range, in
Minneapolis Alex Pretti and Renee Good--rather than deal with that
reality, they just want to double down on their world historical error
by giving up another $140 billion with basically no strings attached to
the people at ICE that have unleashed this chaos against us.
Mr. Speaker, I am voting ``no.''
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Unleash chaos. Think about that. Ask the American people what they
believe about unleashed chaos, millions upon millions of people
flooding our country. The Biden administration released 5-plus million
people into our streets and into our neighborhoods, record number of
criminals, record number of terrorists.
Mr. Speaker, I think the chaos that was unleashed was from the Biden
administration and the Democrats opening up our border and throwing
complete caution, rule of law, and the security of the American people
to the wind, and we have suffered greatly as a country.
We are trying to fix it. We are trying to be the adults. We are
trying to fund the government. We are trying to support our ICE agents
and all those at the Department of Homeland Security that are
protecting our ports and our critical infrastructure. They are doing
their job for the country they love, and we are preventing them from
getting a paycheck.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green), a distinguished member of the
Financial Services Committee.
Mr. GREEN of Texas. And still I rise, Mr. Speaker, in defense of the
American people who are suffering as a result of more than a trillion
dollars in healthcare cuts.
I rise to defend them because my colleagues across the aisle would
reduce them to freeloaders, would reduce them to persons who don't
deserve to be in the country and receive medical care.
I rise to call to your attention Mr. Bonner, an American citizen who
worked for NASA. Mr. Bonner was in line for a double lung transplant.
His premiums went up to the point that he could not afford the premium
that would allow him to get the double lung transplant. We had to go
out on the internet to secure funds for an American citizen who was in
line for a double lung transplant who couldn't get it because of the
premiums that went up in January.

You would reduce these persons, the Bonners of the world, to
freeloaders. They are not freeloaders. These are American citizens who
are suffering because of the way you are treating healthcare.
I rise in support of the American citizens who don't have money in
the stock market and who are not playing the stock market. They have
the supermarket as their means of determining how successful they are.
When they go there, they cannot afford the necessities of life. They
are having to choose gas over food.
I rise in defense of the American people that you reduce to
freeloaders and persons who don't care enough about this country to
want to support it and make sure that all persons have access to
healthcare. I rise to defend the American people.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to the time
remaining.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 7\3/4\
minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Texas has 1 minute remaining.
I remind Members to direct their remarks to the Chair.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I heard from my Democratic friend about rising to support the
vulnerable in this country who need healthcare. Well, let's just face
the harsh facts. I know it is difficult for my Democratic colleagues
because they created this monster, but ObamaCare since its inception
has doubled premiums, doubled deductibles. It has made healthcare
anything but affordable.
And then Joe Biden writes an executive order to allow illegal
immigrants to avail themselves of social services, namely, healthcare,
when American people are standing and waiting in line getting sicker at
hospitals and other healthcare providers.
I think it is unacceptable.
This is the most generous country in the world when it comes to
immigrants, Mr. Speaker. We are going to fund the Department of
Homeland Security. We are going to protect the American people.
I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance
of my time.
Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of
my time.
Let me first state for the record that it is always a pleasure
debating with Chairman Arrington. We have vigorous debates in the
Budget Committee as well as here on the House floor, and it is always a
pleasure to do so. I thank he and his staff who are always professional
and courteous to us.
Mr. Speaker, we have heard a lot over the course of this debate. I
would like to take a step back and put things in perspective. Mr.
Speaker, the bottom line is this: Things are too expensive right now,
and they are making it worse. Their policies are making it worse, which
is remarkable because 2 years ago, being a resident of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, I saw more TV ads--I should say was subjected to
seeing more TV ads, especially during the sports games I watch--than
any other State in the country.

{time} 1550

As different as the two Presidential nominees may have been from one
another, one thing they actually agreed on is that the overwhelming
majority of the ads from the Democratic nominee and the overwhelming
majority of the ads from the Republican Presidential nominee were about
the same thing: They were about costs. Everyone agreed that costs were
too high, and they needed to come down.
This President ran around my State saying: ``I will lower costs on
day one.'' Remember when he said that?

[[Page H3160]]

Here we are not on day one, not on day two, but on day 400, 500,
whatever it is, of this Presidency, and costs aren't any lower today
than 2024. In fact, they are higher. It is more for healthcare, more at
the supermarkets, and more at the gas pumps.
Unlike previous downturns in our economy, it is not because of an act
of terrorism like 9/11, and it is not because of a downturn in the
business cycle. No, it is specifically because of the reckless policies
of this administration and those who have supported those policies here
in Congress.
His reckless trade war has only increased costs. He has doubled down
on that policy by now launching a war in Iran that, in just 2 months,
has brought gas prices from under $3 a gallon to now $4.22 just today
and rising, perhaps approaching $5 a gallon this summer.
What has he done on taxes and healthcare and spending? Their first
reconciliation bill last year showered tax breaks by the trillions to
mostly the wealthy, and it paid for it on the backs of the healthcare
of the American people.
Here we are now in reconciliation 2.0, and what do we find? There is
nothing in here about the price of groceries, nothing to lower the
price of gas, and nothing on housing, on childcare, or on healthcare.
No, we have $70 billion more for ICE and CBP.
We can do far better. The American people deserve better. Say no to
their reckless policies. Vote ``no'' on this bill.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, let me summarize how we got
here: Department of Homeland Security immigration agents killed two
American citizens in Minneapolis. and Democrats demanded accountability
from the Trump administration.
Instead of working with Democrats to enact meaningful reforms--to
rein in the agencies that killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti--
congressional Republicans shut down the department. Now, Republicans
are proposing to end their disastrous DHS shutdown by creating a multi-
billion-dollar slush fund without any oversight at all.
We have seen this story before. Last year, when congressional
Republicans gave more than $160 billion to Trump's DHS in the Big, Ugly
Bill, then-Secretary Kristi Noem decided she wanted luxury private
jets. This time. S. Con. Res. 33 directs the House Homeland Security
Committee to spend up to $70 billion on U.S. Border Patrol, which
Republicans say is only supposed to last for the rest of the Trump
administration. That would mean for the next three years, Border
Patrol's budget would triple. That's in addition to the billions of
dollars they receive last summer.
And it gets worse: This budget resolution also directs the Judiciary
Committee to spend an additional $70 billion for ICE. That is double
ICE's annual budget per year--on top on the $75 billion gifted to them
by Republicans in the Big, Ugly Bill.
Mr. Speaker, we need to oppose this reckless spending and fight for
justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti and all the folks who have been
terrorized by the Trump administration. Vote ``no'' on S. Con. Res.
333.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the previous question is ordered
on the concurrent resolution.
The question is on the adoption of the concurrent resolution.
Pursuant to clause 10 of rule XX, the yeas and nays are ordered.
Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question
are postponed.
