Providing for Consideration of Senate Amendment to H.R. One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern) for yielding time.

Mr. Speaker, Republicans are openly bragging about how the bill kicks children and the elderly off Medicaid, nutritional assistance, and more, all to pay for another tax break for wealthy Republican donors.

My Republican colleagues are not talking about the trillions and trillions of dollars their political giveaway is going to cost. In fact, Mr. Speaker, Vice President Vance has said historic levels of Homeland Security funding in the bill sweetens the deal for the devil.

This deal means billions of American tax dollars to build a wall Trump promised Mexico would pay for.

This bill means billions of dollars for masked ICE agents to terrorize immigrant families who have been contributing to our country for decades, including law-abiding marines and even American kids.

This bill means billions of dollars for DHS to continue obstructing Congress and denying due process to legal immigrants.

My Republican colleagues may be fooled by the one big, ugly bill, but the American people are not. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the rule and the underlying bill.
