Rep. Dan Crenshaw: "Let’s pass the Taking Care of America’s Veterans Act today. Despite one single group’s opposition. A useless, corrupt, irrelevant organization called the VFW. Happy Veteran’s Day. Except to the leadership at VFW. You guys are traitors to veterans and their families."

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez: "Immigrants are building America, but the Administration's policies are dividing families and stripping labor from businesses in South Texas and nationwide."

Rep. Pat Fallon: "They've made clear this is their plan once again. Democrats are for endless subpoenas, not improving the lives of everyday Americans."

Rep. Joaquin Castro: "Last week America rebuked Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign. It has killed people, killed communities and killed businesses. In January, change is coming."
