I am honored to be here with my colleagues here tonight. I am proud of the fact that. over the 10 months or so that I have been here. we have passed probably hundreds of bills. meaningful legislation. legislation that would protect the American people. legislation that would strengthen our national security. that would care for veterans and provide the kind of care that they deserve. legislation that would empower American businesses and small businesses. legislation that would increase transparency and accountability within government agencies. For example. in order to protect the American citizens. as we all are so concerned about these days. we passed H.R. 3009. the Sanctuary Cities Act. that would not allow any State or local government to continue to receive funding if they harbor illegal alien criminals. Cities like San Francisco and many others would no longer be able to have a governmentbankrolled sanctuary to provide such a thing for illegal alien lawbreakers. In addition. as the Representative from South Carolina just referred to moments ago. the threat of ISIS and the authentic threat against the West from terror attacks is real. We are living with that reality today.
