“Sarah has worked hard through her undergraduate degree, her master's, and now she has finished her last class in the nursing school all because she wants to care for others. I could not be prouder of her and all of her cohorts as they begin caring for patients and strengthening communities across Montana. As I travel around the State, we have a huge need for practitioners, for nurses, and for doctors, and we have just strengthened Montana's Second District workforce by one. Sarah's mother and I are incredibly proud of her. Our granddaughter, Lyla, has an incredible role model to look up to, and Montana is lucky to have her. ____________________”

“My Safeguarding American Property Act builds on the good work of the Laken Riley Act by expanding the bill to include property crimes like trespassing and arson as deportable offenses. Mitigating these types of property crimes is a particularly important challenge for border States and rural districts like mine which often have vast distances between homes and businesses and in which law enforcement resources are often spread thin. This bill sticks up for those communities and upholds the fundamental American value of respecting property rights by providing additional legal requirements that ensure Federal immigration law is properly enforced. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support the Safeguarding American Property Act to further strengthen the good policies codified in the Laken Riley Act. ____________________”

Mr. DOWNING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of my bill, the Safeguarding American Property Act. In the 119th Congress, House Republicans have sent a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: If you break our laws, you go home. Earlier this year, we passed the Laken Riley Act.”
“When governments act as though they know better than the consumers and the markets, everyday people pay the price. Let's not make that mistake today. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.”
“By capping overdraft fees, the CFPB has made it increasingly more costly for banks and credit unions, especially those that service folks in rural districts like mine, to offer overdraft protection. When these lenders are no longer able to charge competitive rates, they may be forced to cover the cost by increasing other critical services or stop offering the services altogether. What does that result in? It results in less choice and less protection. Imagine a single mother trying to make ends meet. She needs to feed herself and her son, the rent is due, but she doesn't have enough in her account to cover both. If she is not able to access overdraft protection or other far riskier means of short-term liquidity, imagine the outcome. This rulemaking doesn't help people in these positions as it pretends to. It jeopardizes their survival.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Hill for his leadership in bringing this important legislation to the floor. The bill we have before us today reverses perhaps the most misunderstood rulemaking in financial services. On its face, you may look at a proposal to cap overdraft fees and think, wow, that sounds like a great idea. After all, who wants to pay more in fees? However, in reality, the CFPB's rule capping overdraft fees is nothing more than an eleventh hour effort from Biden's rogue financial regulators to score political points at the expense of everyday Americans. Financial institutions have to be able to generate profit from the products they offer. Otherwise, they will not be able to offer them at all.”
