mr. roy: i thank the chair. i thank my friend. i rise in strong support of his amendment because it is extremely important. the reason there isn't a mandate in the department of defense right now is because we demanded that it end. that's the truth. we forced it through on that omnibus spending bill last december. here's the reality. we have a doctor here in the building right now speaking to a group of members from johns hopkins university talking about the extent to which the current iteration of the covid vaccine has been tested on like 10 lab rats. hasn't gone through the human trials. when my father had polline the vaccine came after, it was a decade of testing and trials. we have stuck this vaccine out because of panic. we have undermined the health and well-being of our soldiers, airmen, marines. we should stop t we should prohibit it in the fuhr. and make back pay available to our former members. i yield. mr. rosen dale: i reserve. the chair: the gentleman from montana reserves. the g

mr. royby direction of the committee on rules, i call up house resolution 723 and ask for its immediate consideration in the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: house calendar number 38. house res. lyings -- house resolution 723. resolved, that at any time after adoption of this resolution the speaker may, pursuant to clause 2-b of rule 18, declare the house resolved into the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for consideration of the bill, h.r. 4365 making appropriations for the department of defense for the fiscal year ending september 30, 2024, and for other purposes. the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. all points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. general debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on appropriations or their respective designees. after general debate the bill shall be co

mr. roy: i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment 75 printed in part b of house report 118-216. offered by mr. roy of texas. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 723, the gentleman from texas, mr. roy, and a member opened each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas. mr. roy: i thank the chair. the amendment i put forward prohibits funding in this amendment to president biden's executive orders that put needless limits on immigration enforcement, scales back sound asylum policies and establishes its own set of immigration directives that congress has not passed. the executive orders president biden put in place as soon as he got into the white house have had an enormous negative impact on the ability of border patrol and ice to carry out their job. in particular ice. the results are pretty clear. it plummeted 62% under fiscal year 20 under president ump and fiscal year 2021 under president bide

mr. roy: i agree. don't you agree they're massively demoralized in their current state sitting there with 20,000, the gentleman will agree the agents are demoralized right now. are they demoralized right now. mr. cuellar: they don't like the way things are going right now and in eight days they really won't be very happy. mr. roy: but the gentleman would agree, they're demoralized right now based on the fact that this administration, in the words of border patrol, almost universally, not just the union but the line guys that i know i've talked to, a lot of the same guys, that they're demoralized because they're sitting there saying we can't do our job. we're processing people and we're not patrolling the borders. does the gentleman agree that's why we're here? mr. cuellar: i agree. i've looked at the surveys of border patrol over the years and they're probably one of the hardest hit on morale, so right now -- they were there four years ago and if we don't do something and provide them the paycheck that

[inaudible] reporter: they walked out of that phone call -- mr. roy: my colleague, you'd have to ask them that question and get their answer to it. look, i'm standing here telling you i do not believe that it is a appropriate or sustainable position to say that we're not going to support legislation that would cut government 8% while securing our border. again, policy matters. what we're seeing at the border matters. it is an overwhelming issue for the people across this country so that would be my message to them and look. it's not without at least some point, right, about figuring out what's next. you mentioned my colleague, mr. norman. i don't want to speak for him but i think some of my colleagues want to see where is this going to go? what happens at the end of 30 days? that's the conversation we're having right now about where things go. we've got to come together and move forward spending bills that will unite the conference. my belief, as i put forward here without any shame whatsoever is that a piece of legislation that will secure the southe

mr. roy: they're fed up with a government there's out of control. and here's the thing. our founding fathers, in creating this country, created separation of powers. it is incumbent upon those of us with election certificates, particularly in the house of representatives, but also the senate, to stand up at this end of pennsylvania avenue and hold the other end of pennsylvania avenue and the executive branch accountable. a president and an executive branch that is out of control. my question for my colleagues, particularly my republican colleagues, is when is it enough? when is it enough to stand up and do what you campaigned to do? and use the power of the purse to stop this administration from trampling the american people? spending is out of control. federal government will spend $2 trillion more than it takes in this year, to fund the very agencies and programs at war with the american people. inflation is imposed at 17% tax on americans. we've added $1.5 trillion in debt since the so-cal

mr. roy: this question has been asked and answered. we had a meeting of the minds, an agreement with the speaker in january. we all know what that is and matt articulated a lot of those things today on the floor of the house. the fact of the matter is, let's be very clear, we talked about reducing spending. that was part of the agreement. we all know that and talked about it publicly and we haven't done that. we talked about passing a budget. we haven't done that, right? we talked about having term limits, bringing the bill we haven't done that. that's what matt was getting at. the point here is we can go back and talk about the agreement, but the point here is the american people and the people suffering at home expect us to do our job. that's the point that we're dealing with here in september. reporter: one follow-up then or two, rather. one, is there a hard copy of that? i would love to see that. mr. roy: i'm not going to get into that. that's been asked and answered since january. report

my good friend from texas, mr. roy, is recognized for questions. mr. roy: i appreciate you for being here and my friend from kentucky in getting these bills produced, i wish we were doing this in june or july. we should have been in here and i think we should have stayed here in august but we are here and hopefully we can do our work this week and get where we need to go. quick question, our colleague is inquiring our engagement in africa. would the gentleman agree that china's engagement worldwide is not necessarily resulted in the highest quality product. "wall street journal" had an expose to which their products are falling apart. the infrastructure projects in other words, a race to beat china for beating china's sake and their engagement abroad doesn't mean we need to appropriate dollars. rather we should do our work at the right level with the right quality and do our thing and then essentially let china -- is that something you read in the "journal" recently? mr. diaz-balart: they go not to be helpful but -- not only make a profit but go in ther

tenney: i yield two minutes to mr. roy. mr. roy: i thank the gentlelady from new york. i have great respect for my colleague on the other side of the aisle from texas on this matter we disagree. the secretary of homeland security has entirely abdicated his response about to follow the laws of the -- his responsibility to follow the law os they have united states. he's done so purposefully. he's done so with complete disregard to his constitutional obligation. to run the department of homeland security. which by definition means he's supposed to secure the homeland. having released some two million people into the united states, having come before the house judiciary committee and literally said, yes, we have operational control of the border while staring directly at a statute defining operational control of the border and the secure fence act and then later going back to committees and saying no, no, no. that's not the definition i was talking about. we all know full well what he's doing. he's trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the american people that he is some

can you yield to mr. roy in the maybe mr. bishop? >> i will yield to mr. roy. >> i think the gentleman from virginia. despite enormous levels of encounters. relatively 46, thousand far exceeding what obama dhs security said work crisis levels that being 1000 a week. we can agree, possibly, it is possible a decrease from fy 22 to defy 23 of total border patrol encounters. they're going down about 20% according to the 90 level is that right? >> congressman i think they are going down further in light of the approaches that we implemented in post title 42. >> assuming they are going down -- hasn't there simultaneously been a significant and continuing increase at the ports of entry? more than offsets the reduction in illustrates a shell game being counters from fy 22 and fy23 the data that i have a current is a hunter percent increase. fy 20 defy 23 a 360 increase from 241,000 to 1.1 million. in other words, the american people need to be told the truth about what is actually happening. the told numbers, looking at the nationwide encounters, fy 20 to fy 2021,

mr. roy, for 30 minutes. mr. roy: i thank the speaker and i thank my friend from texas for his service to this great country, both in uniform and here in this body and i'm honored to serve with him and all of the great members of congress that wore the uniform and i appreciate his remarks just now honoring many of those who have served and were properly recognized. it's an honor to serve you just as an honor to serve to the speaker, also from texas. i am reminded as i listen to my friend from texas of the engagement i had with veterans that i represent in the 21st congressional district of texas in san antonio in august. one of the great things when you are in your work period is engaging with the constituents and remind you why they sent us here. and i had countless veterans, civilians asking me what's happening to their country. and many veterans, several men, later in life, breaking down in tears asking questions like what did they fight for to watch what's unfolding currently under this a

if that that's the case, i think you'll find a very robust debate along the thriefns debate mr. roy and mr. cuellar had which i actually thought was very informative and helpful. so yeah, i have issues with this bill. the fact that it doesn't include the $691 million that mr. cuellar thought to try to get into the bill for drug interdiction in c.b.p. i think is a problem. there are ta variety of ore problems as it relates to fema disaster funding which is a big issue in my district which continues to recover from a series of devastating wildfires. the point i was making earlier is that unlike the senate we haven't had the opportunity for a bipartisan discussion and negotiation about this appropriation bill, it's essentially been take it or leave it. you can assume the answer that you're going to get from many of my colleagues on our side of the aisle given the product but that's, again, that's a debt debate about the merits. mr. biggs: i look forward to that kohl queesm mr. neguse: i'm going to yield back. i appreciate the chairman's generosity with respect to the time thank you. mr

mr. roy of texas. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 723, the gentleman from texas, mr. roy, and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas. mr. roy: i thank the chairman and i thank my friend from florida for all his work on this legislation. the underlying bill. and i offer an amendment that would prohibit any of the funding made available in the state foreign operations related programs appropriations act from being used to carry out president biden's executived off orders on climate change. i do want to pause for a minute before i describe my amendment to thank the gentlelady for our work together in trying to address ongoing authorize authorizations of the use of military force that have long since come and gone and congress needs to act. congress needs to dispense with the 2002 and 1991 aumf's that no longer, i think, are relevant. i appreciate working with the gentlelady to that end. i hope we'll see some movement on that at some

and i got to remember that -- if i'm not mistaken mr. roy the chief of staff for ted cruz in the shutdown in '13. that went so well. we've had the shutdowns, they haven't accomplished a hell of a lot. when people tell me they want to shut the country down, tell me what the end result is, how you're going to change the outcome here when the senate is controlled by democrats and the president is a democrat. it's crazy to say you're going to defund obama care and the senate is going to pass it and the president is going to sign it. a lot of the thicks tngs they'r asking for is in the bill. the idea that you're going to defund the department of justice of justice -- >> how do you convince them? these are fellow republicans. >> take my bill if you will, homeland security, all the things they're asking for we're funding in our bill. go through it line by line. the last time we had a conference, even majority leader scalise spoke up and said if you would read joyce's bill it's a great bill. it accomplishes all the things you're asking for. but that

to talk about china but before i do, i want to just comment, you know, in the last exchange with mr. roy, i heard you say certain practices were outrageous to you, and i appreciated that. i think we would have liked to have heard more set this hearing about things, acknowledging failures. i realize there are a lot of positives to talk about, but we do, as a committee, want to work with you when chairman jordan asks why so much is redacted in the document, could we perhaps sit down with you, even if it's privately, and you tell us why that needs to be the case? if we ask for the names of these employees behind the catholic, the catholic issue and virginia, can we get a commitment we will eventually get those names? i didn't hear that in the exchange with mr. jordan. >> you certainly have my -- that we will work collaboratively with the committee. we obviously have rules that govern what we can share, and we have to be mindful of those. in my experience, that's with the long-standing accommodation process between executive branch, especially lawton forsman agencies and congress, is there f

congressman -- brought it up and you've addressed it, and i know that mr. roy worked, but it's important, and i think it is such a source of frustration because every time you turn on the tv there is this imagery that continues which is coming across the border. and wherever i was, when you talk to border control or your employees, homeland security, none of them say yeah, everything is going well, and there is certainly an operational control in place. but even by the definition that you brought up, i don't think anybody ask you again today directly that do you believe that we have operational control the border right now? >> under the statutory definition? >> under the statutory definition, do we have? it >> under statutory definition, congressman, that single individual can cross the border if one has operational control. last year, approximately 1.7 million people across the border. we provided that information to congress on a monthly basis. under that definition, no administration has have operational control. what we do, what we do is ensure that the res

cammack: i rise to support a amendment offered by mr. roy and mites. it would restrict funds for being used to implement president biden's radical climate agenda. since taking office the biden administration has spent billions of dollars implementing leftist climate initiatives at the expense of the american taxpayer. in may of 2023, the usda announced $11 billion in grants and loans for, quote, zero emission energy, otherwise known as unreliable energy. in addition, a recent report found that biden's usda, tom vilsack, coordinated with advisers, a george soros funded group on, quote, transforming the u.s. food system. we simply cannot produce and process the food necessary to satisfy the massive demand in this country and abroad if we cannot depend on energy and food systems being hijacked into an extremist climate agenda. furthermore, biden's climate policies have detrimental effects on our economy and threaten the livelihood of americans in our agricultural sector. in many cases these radical biden initiatives do more harm than good to our environme
