On Thursday, the House Committee on Homeland Security (CHS) held a CHS markup to consider legislation, including H.RES.1236, H.RES.1328, H.R. 3756, the “Department of Homeland Security Climate Change Research Act, just days after a report found that the volume of illegal immigration under President Biden will cost the American taxpayers $20 billion a year. Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) criticized the focus on climate change legislation by Democrats on the House Committee on Homeland Security (CHS) during the CHS markup.
