The speaker pro tempore the house will be in order. For what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition . Mr. Speaker, i have a motion to recommit at the desk. The speaker pro tempore is the gentleman opposed to the bill . I am in its present form. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman qualifies. The clerk will report the motion. That aller. Rush mr. Reschenthaler moves to recommit the bill to the committee. Insert the following. Because of the economic, humanitarian, security, and refugee crisis that is a direct result of years of socialist policies implemented by the rejackson lee of hugo chavez and nicolas maduro. The speaker pro tempore pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for five minutes in support of his motion. Mr. Reschenthaler thank you, mr. Mesh mesh mr. Speaker, the motion to mr. Reschenthaler mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit im offering today inserts language into the bill that blames venezuelas economic, security and refugee crisis squarely here it belongs, on socialism. This crisis is directly the result of years of socialist policies implemented by the authoritarian regimes of hugo chavez and nicholas maduro. Venezuela should be the wealthiest country in south america. Indeed, it once was. However, like all socialist regimes, chavez and maduro ripped power from the hands of their power, depriving venezuelans of their personal liberties and relegating them to poverty, debt, and despair. In socialist country, the government no longer serves the people. The people serve the government. Venezuela is currently experiencing, according to the New York Times the worst economic collapse outside of war in the last half century. The countrys economy has shrunk twice as much as the soviet blocs economy did in their collapse. Venezuelan venezuelans continue to suffer from shortages of food, medicine, and simple commodities. Inflation is set to reach 10 million percent this year. 10 million percent inflation. Thats unthinkable. Venezuelas economy is so bad, their inflation so out of control, that according to bloomberg, a haircut costs five bananas and two eggs. Its absolutely ridiculous. This is what its come to in venezuela. One tenth of the population, one tenth, has fled the country due to economic collapse and government repression. As Margaret Thatcher once said, the problem with socialcism that eventually you run out of other peoples money. Mr. Speaker, earlier this year, i was fortunate enough to get to the border of colombia and venezuela. In fact, i was with a bipartisan, bicameral delegation to the border. I talked to refugees about the conditions from which they fled. I heard stories of physicians who were performing surgeries with smartphone light because the lights in the operating room went off and on. I heard stories from family members who said that people were dying, their other family members, because they couldnt get penicillin for simple wounds and infections. I saw a woman crossing a river in a wheelchair because she was so desperately seeking medical attention. It was truly heartbreaking. To this day, over three million venezuelans have fled for colombia. While the ruthless maduro regime blocks humanitarian aid into venezuela. Yet, mr. Speaker, sadly, members of this very body continue to stand with maduro. The speaker pro tempore the ouse will be in order. Mr. Reschenthaler while members of this body stand with maduro they simultaneously refuse to recognize guy doe as the legitimate president of venezuela. They continue to blame the United States for venezuelas collapse. They align themselves with the disastrous, inhumane policies of socialism. I urge my colleagues to call the crisis in venezuela for what it is. The result of unfettered socialism. I ask that they support this motion to recommit which wont kill the bill, which wont delay its adoption. We must send a strong message. We must send a united message. We must send a message to the world that the United States is a beacon of freedom and hope. That the United States will always fight oppression and that the United States will always empower the people. Yield back. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentlewoman from florida seek recognition . Mr. Speaker, i rise in opposition to this motion. The speaker pro tempore the gentlewoman is recognized for five minutes. This is an outrageous and truly ensulting amendment meant to do nothing more than to score cheap political points. Lets be clear, republicans are offering this amendment to take a stand against a socialist dictator but they plan to vote against this bill, a bill that does nothing more than protect people from that very dictator. In other words, republicans want to say that they support the venezuelan people but they are completely unwilling to do anything for them. Ms. Mucarselpowell i have just one thing to say to my republican colleagues. Venezuelans dont need your empty words. They need action now. Lets be clear. Every american opposes dictatorial oppression, whether it comes from the far left or from the far right. In south america, we have seen dictators from the right and he left like pin chay in chile, or in argentina, both of whom killed and disappeared thousands of their own citizens in pursuit of rightwing agendas. During those regimes we condemned dictators, i hope you remember those times. We did not use the tragedy of the people to score cheap political points. We all oppose dictatorship and tyranny. It is what binds us together as americans. And coming from south america, i understand very well what happens when we see a dictator rise when it goes unchecked. But instead of honoring democratic principles, this amendment uses it as a political weapon to divide our nation. That is bad enough. But it is worse when those who offer the amendment are also unwilling to help oppressed people who find themselves in a similar situation to the countless immigrants who came to plymouth rock, ellis island or the freedom tower. Let me ask this. Do you think that oppressed venezuelans, immigrants who desperately fled to the United States to seek refuge, prefer we vote and waste our time on an empty condemnation or that we pass meaningful legislation to prevent the administration from deporting them back to a country suffer one of the worst humanitarian crises in this hemisphere . Trump has said that he condemns maduro and says he supports the venezuelan people but his words are as empty as this republican otion before us. Trumps hypocritical immigration policies have left this house no other option but to act. We have the opportunity to set aside politics like 37 of my republican colleagues did on tuesday and do right by our vins way lan brothers and sisters and so by our venezuelan brothers and sisters and so i urge my colleagues to vote know on this m.

Two days ago, i received an email from a constituent, approvesor at a Community College in allen town, pennsylvania. Many of her students demepped on snap benefits and she was deeply worried after hearing reports that the administrations plan to further undermine snap through extreme new executive action. These changes would cut assistance to three Million People including children, veterans, disabled americans and seniors. I wish i could send her a reassuring response. It is a shameful time in america when we give tax cuts to billionaires and huge corporations and cant help people put food on their table. Around 44 of snap beneficiaries are children and Research Shows that snap not only reduces hunger and mall nutrition but improves the american peoples lives including improving childrens education outcomes. We cannot turn our backs.
