MadamPresident, I am pleased that today wewere able to put aside the partisan politics and vote for what was right forthe American people. I hope my colleagues will also vote for the final bill.We must protect American jobs andeliminate tax loopholes for corporations that move jobs overseas. Creatingand supporting well-paying Americanjobs should be our top priority.The debate about jobs in Americaand New Mexico is not about politics;it is about people.

vlivingston on DSKHW7XVN1PROD with CONG-REC-ONLINEJuly 23, 2014challenge as far as their future andtheir livelihood.In Questa, NM, miners have workedfor nearly a century. But that mine isnow closing—less than 2 weeks fromtoday—and 300 people will lose theirjobs. For the workers, for their families, and for local businesses, it is ahard time, with tough questions anduncertain answers.Just this past Sunday I met with theminers to talk with them and, mostimportantly, to listen about what hashappened in Questa and the future of agreat community.This is about more than Chevron Corporation’s decision to close the mine; itis about workers who feel they werekept in the dark, who worry that helpwill be too little and too late. My officeis working closely with the communityfor trade adjustment assistance to getthe training and help they will need.Folks there are struggling, but theyare committed to mapping out a newfuture for Questa, a post-mining economy, including ecotourism and renewable energy.Families have lived and worked inQuesta for generations. They knowhard work, grit, and determination. Noone needs to tell them about that.They helped build our country. Theysupport their community, and they follow the rules. They ask for one thing inreturn: a fair chance—that is all, just afair chance.Let’s be clear. For the SupremeCourt, for those who seem to be confused on this point, these miners arepeople, their families are people. Corporations are not people. Super PACsbuying our elections—they are not people. They are special interests with alot of money and a lot of demands,such as special tax breaks—tax breaksthat make no sense to real people withreal problems who are looking for realjobs.We need to be doing all we can to create jobs, to keep building our economy.The Bring Jobs Home Act would help—a tax policy that brings jobs home, notone that rewards sending them away.Almost 2.5 million jobs have gone overthe past 10 years, shipped overseas andpaid for by the American taxpayers, byfamilies such as those in Questa footing the bill.The Bring Jobs Home Act would dotwo important things: First, it wouldend the tax loophole for outsourcingjobs. If corporations want to send a joboverseas, they can do so but at theirown expense, not at the expense of theAmerican taxpayers. Second, it wouldcreate the right incentives, giving atax credit for companies that bringjobs back home. This is a pretty simpleidea. Let’s reward what helps and stoprewarding what doesn’t.The Bring Jobs Home Act will dosomething else too. For the middleclass in this country, for workers andfamilies, it will say: We hear you. Yourvoice matters too. And all the superPAC dollars can’t change that.We can create jobs right here athome. We can keep growing our econ-VerDate Sep 11 201413:39 Oct 06, 2015S4729CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATEJkt 079060omy and help communities with a taxpolicy that builds them up and investsin the future. That is something tofight for. That is the kind of fairnessfolks want and deserve in Questa, inmy State and in our country.The mine will close in Questa. Wecan’t change that. We can’t bring itback. Some folks say that it will feellike a death the day that door closes,that it almost feels like a funeral, as ifa part of them dies with the mine. AndI am sure it does. It has been the lifeblood of the community for so manyyears and for so many generations offamilies. But folks there said something else too: When bad things happen, friends and family show up to dowhat they can to help.We need to start showing up for theAmerican worker, for the middle class,for towns all across our Nation wherethe factory closed, where the jobs wentaway. The Bring Jobs Home Act is astart to create jobs, to build our economy here at home, and to help communities in a world that is changing awfully fast. It is a step in the right direction, and I urge my colleagues to support it.I yield the floor.The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.Mrs. SHAHEEN. Madam President, Ithank my colleague from New Mexicofor his compelling remarks about theimportance of passing the Bring JobsHome Act.I am here to echo the need to passthis critical legislation, and I am certainly pleased we had such a strongvote to end debate on this legislation.I hope we can now come to some agreement and get the same kind of supportfor moving the bill forward. I am anoriginal cosponsor of this commonsense bill.As Senator UDALL said, this legislation would end incentives for companies to send American jobs overseas,and it would instead encourage companies to move jobs back to the UnitedStates.Believe it or not, when a companymoves jobs offshore, it can write offthose expenses on its taxes. Thatdoesn’t make sense. The Bring JobsHome Act would stop forcing taxpayersto foot the bill for companies whenthey ship jobs overseas. In addition, toencourage companies to move production back to the United States, the billprovides a tax credit for the costs associated with bringing jobs back home.Not only is this legislation the rightthing to do, but it also comes at a critical time as our economy struggles torecover. In New Hampshire and acrossthe country—as Senator UDALL pointedout, in New Mexico with the closing ofthe mine and in that community—weare still feeling the effects of the greatrecession. Millions of Americans losttheir jobs, and too many middle-classfamilies are still struggling to makeends meet.But sadly, even before the recessionhit, the American middle class wasPO 00000Frm 00009Fmt 4624Sfmt 0634finding it hard to pay their bills, to paytheir mortgage, to find the good jobsthat allowed them to have opportunities. A big reason for that was the lossof so many good-paying American jobsthat supported the middle class. Toomany of those jobs were shipped overseas. Over the last decade, 2.4 millionjobs were shipped overseas, and those2.4 million families supported by thosejobs had to find other ways to supportthemselves, and often they were in jobsthat didn’t pay as well.Well, it doesn’t have to be this way.In fact, many companies are now looking to move jobs back to the UnitedStates. As production costs rise overseas, these companies want the advantages provided by our American workers—the most productive workers inthe world—and the ease of doing business in the United States.I have heard from several companiesthat have already moved jobs back tothe United States, and there are manymore that are hoping to bring jobsback home if we have the right policiesin place.Let me give an example. Last year Imet with Doug Clark, who is the CEOof a footwear manufacturing company,New England Footwear. When we thinkfootwear manufacturing or shoe factory jobs, we don’t think the UnitedStates anymore because while thereare still some very good companiesthat manufacture footwear here, mostof those jobs were sent offshore a longtime ago.I know that story very well becausemy father was in shoe manufacturing.The whole time I was growing up, Iwatched him struggle with the loss ofthose shoe manufacturing jobs thatwere being sent overseas and importscoming in to take the place of shoesmade here in America and the jobs thatworkers here in America held.Today about 99 percent of shoes soldin the United States are made abroad.But New England Footwear executives,who have years of experience in theshoe industry, are looking to bringthose jobs back home—back to NewHampshire. The company currentlymanufactures in China, but as costsrise there, Doug believes he can bringhigher paying jobs to the United Statesthanks to innovative technology thatreduces manufacturing costs.New England Footwear isn’t alone. ABoston Consulting Group survey fromlast September showed that more thanhalf of large U.S.-based manufacturersare planning or considering right nowbringing production lines back to theUnited States from China. That is up 17percent from just 2 years ago—17 percent. That is a big increase, a lot ofjobs. The Boston Consulting Group projected that production reshored fromChina and higher exports due to improved U.S. competitiveness in manufacturing could create 2.5 to 5 millionAmerican factory and related servicejobs by 2020. So by 2020 we could replace more than the jobs we lost in theE:\RECORD14\JUL 2014\S23JY4.RECS23JY4

S4730last decade. That is the kind of behavior we should be encouraging. That isexactly what the bill before us does.We know it will work because a 2012MIT forum on supply chain management found that providing tax creditsfor bringing American jobs back to theUnited States would be one of the mosteffective ways to accelerate that process, along with other commonsensemeasures such as enacting tax reform,which we all agree we have to do, providing research and development incentives, ensuring a highly educated workforce, and improving American infrastructure. Again, these are all challenges which I think the majority of usin this body understand have to bedone.I am very glad the Senate moved tothis bill because our priority in Washington must be creating jobs and restoring the American middle class.Over the past few decades too manyAmericans have seen their jobs disappear or their incomes fall. The BringJobs Home Act is an opportunity tosupport those families by creatinggood-paying jobs in the United Statesand by helping our economy regain itscompetitive edge.I thank the Presiding Officer.I yield the floor and note the absenceof a quorum.The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms.BALDWIN). The clerk will call the roll.The bill clerk proceeded to call theroll.Mr. CORNYN. Madam President, Iask unanimous consent that the orderfor the quorum call be rescinded.The PRESIDING OFFICER. Withoutobjection, it is so ordered.vlivingston on DSKHW7XVN1PROD with CONG-REC-ONLINETHE HUMANE ACTMr. CORNYN. Madam President, inrecent days I have come to the floorseveral times to talk about the humanitarian crisis on our southwestern border where a veritable flood of unaccompanied children, from Central Americamainly, is appearing on our border andturning themselves in to the BorderPatrol because they realize that ultimately they will be released to a relative in the United States with a notice to appear at a future court date.The vast majority of them will fail toappear for that court date and successfully end up staying in the UnitedStates, notwithstanding the fact thatit does not comply with our law.But in recent days a curious divisionhas emerged from our colleagues on theother side of the aisle on a fundamental issue that I want to highlight.On the one hand, more and more Democrats are calling on Congress to reformthis 2008 law that inadvertently has become a magnet for illegal immigrationby Central American minors. On theother hand, Senate Democratic leadership is refusing to consider any suchreforms. They just want the cash. Theywanted the money the President hasasked for. So they are asking Congressto simply throw more money at theproblem. The figure they have now settled on is 2.7 billion. The AssociatedPress has called this ‘‘problematic.’’VerDate Sep 11 2014July 23, 2014CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE13:39 Oct 06, 2015Jkt 079060If you have a humanitarian crisis andyou need more money to deal with it,we all understand that. But if you areunwilling to take the step to fix thebasic problem that has created the crisis, that strikes me as problematic, asthe Associated Press says.What is President Obama’s position?Well, I am afraid the President hasshown a complete lack of leadership onsomething that he himself has called ahumanitarian crisis. But there havebeen prominent members of his administration who have publicly expressedsupport for the type of reforms contained in the HUMANE Act, which is abipartisan, bicameral piece of legislation I have introduced with my colleague HENRY CUELLAR from Laredo,TX.For example, you will see on thischart Secretary of Homeland SecurityJeh Johnson has said the administration wants to change the 2008 law atthe center of the crisis so that U.S. authorities can ‘‘treat unaccompaniedkids from Central America the sameway as it does from a contiguous country’’—in other words, from Mexico.White House Press Secretary JoshEarnest, you can see on this nextchart, has confirmed that the administration would support ‘‘changing the2008 law’’ if it is necessary to resolvethe crisis, as Secretary of HomelandSecurity Jeh Johnson says it is.As tens of thousands of children continue to flood across our border, suchchanges are absolutely necessary. Infact, the cartels, the criminal organizations that are smuggling children intothe United States, discovered this flawand they have changed their businessmodel to exploit it, because they aremaking money off of it.The HUMANE Act, which we have offered as a solution is not the only solution. If other people have good ideas,we would love to hear them, but doingnothing is not an option.The HUMANE Act would equalize thetreatment of all unaccompanied minorchildren, regardless of where they comefrom. Treat them all the same. If it isgood enough for children coming fromMexico unattended by parents, then itought to be good enough for others.All of our colleagues essentiallyvoted for that proposition in 2008 withthat law. This proposal we have wouldalso expedite the removal process forthose without a valid claim for legalstatus. In other words, there are claimsfor legal status in the United Statesthat some of these children might qualify for. We do not touch any of thosepreexisting laws. In other words, if youare a victim of human trafficking, forexample, you can qualify for somethingcalled a T visa while you cooperatewith a law enforcement investigation.If you have a credible fear of persecution in your home country based oncertain other criteria, you could qualify for asylum or as a refugee. But finally, we would end the policy of catchand release by which these children orother immigrants are not detainedPO 00000Frm 00010Fmt 4624Sfmt 0634pending a hearing in front of a judge.We know from experience, given thesurge of Brazilians who came in 2005and 2006, that additional detention andspeedy hearings and reprocessing backto the home country are essential todeter people from coming in the firstplace.The HUMANE ACT would bring orderand clarity to a situation currentlymarked by chaos and confusion. Youwould think that Members of Congress,Democrats and Republicans alike,would want to bring some clarity andend the chaos and confusion. But so farwe have not seen that sort of bipartisan desire to embrace a solution. So Iam happy to note that a number ofDemocrats do agree with us about theneed to reform the 2008 law and establish an expedited removal process.For example, Senator MCCASKILL,the senior Senator from Missouri, hasreportedly said: I think we should havethe same law on the books for CentralAmerica as we have for Canada andMexico.That is precisely the point. She and Iagree with each other 100 percent onthat. That is what the HUMANE Actwould do.Meanwhile, the senior Senator fromDelaware, Mr. CARPER—the chairmanof the Homeland Security Committee,someone with a lot of knowledge aboutthis, and somebody who I know hasbeen in close consultation with Secretary Johnson—has argued that anysupplemental funding should be pairedwith significant policy changes, saying,‘‘the two should go together.’’ I agreewith Senator CARPER.So if the administration agrees withprominent Senate Democrats, as JehJohnson has said they do, and as JoshEarnest has said they do, if the administration agrees with these prominentSenate Democrats about the urgency ofpassing something like the HUMANEAct, and if plenty of Senate Republicans agree as well, why are we nothaving a vote? What is the holdup?Well, as usual, the majority leaderseems to be more concerned about goodpolitics than good policy. He, incredibly to most ears, certainly to mine,declared that the border was ‘‘secure’’a couple of days ago. I was shocked tohear him say that. In the midst of ahumanitarian crisis, he says the borderis ‘‘secure.’’ With 414,000 detained coming across the border last year alonefrom 100 different countries, the majority leader says the border is ‘‘secure.’’Here is what he said on Monday. Hesaid: We need to get resources to ourBorder Patrol agents and others whoare caring for these children.This is at the same time he said theborder is ‘‘secure.’’ I do not quite understand that tension between his positions. But this is what he said. He said:‘‘We need judges to hear those kids’cases and decide whether they needprotection or need to be sent backhome.’’ So here is my confusion. Themajority leader has said he understands what needs to happen. The pressE:\RECORD14\JUL 2014\S23JY4.RECS23JY4

July 23, 2014secretary for the President says he understands what needs to happen. Secretary Johnson, the Secretary ofHomeland Security, says he knowswhat needs to happen. ProminentDemocrats such as the Senator fromMissouri and the Senator from Delaware say they understand what needsto happen. Yet nothing is happening.The HUMANE Act, which would doeverything the majority leader mentioned, is a bipartisan, bicameral pieceof legislation that would alleviate anational emergency and a humanitarian crisis. It has received supportacross the political and ideologicalspectrum.I would add that some on the left andsome on the right have criticized it.Some have not bothered to read it orunderstand it. But if you are beingcriticized on both sides of the extremes, then you must be doing something that is actually doable and maybe at least 80 percent part of the solution.So I would urge the majority leader,the majority whip, the chairman of theJudiciary Committee, to heed the message conveyed by Secretary Johnson. Iwould urge all of us, particularly at atime of humanitarian crisis, to forgetthe politics and let’s solve the problem.We have an opportunity to address agenuine crisis. I urge them to remember, as Mr. Charles Lane of the Washington Post has written recently:vlivingston on DSKHW7XVN1PROD with CONG-REC-ONLINEThe rule of law is one of the benefits immigrants seek in the United States. Step one indealing with the border crisis should be toreestablish it.Those are wise words.In contrast, if we simply write theadministration a blank check for 2.7billion without fixing the problem, wewill find ourselves back here again andagain as the numbers escalate from the57,000 so far since October to the projected 90,000 the administration sayscould come across this year alone tothe 145,000 who are projected to comenext year.I am, frankly, flabbergasted. Whycan’t we do this? Why can’t we do it?Democrats agree with the need. Republicans agree there is a need. There is anescalating crisis on the border that isnot going to go away with the changeof the news cycle. We have the abilityto deal with it so we should.I actually agree with this statementby Senator REID: We need to get the resources to our Border Patrol agentsand others who are caring for thesechildren. We need judges to hear thesekids’ cases and decide whether theyneed protection or need to be sent backhome.I agree with the majority leaderwhen he said that. So let’s do it.I yield the floor and I suggest the absence of a quorum.The PRESIDING OFFICER. Theclerk will call the roll.The legislative clerk proceeded tocall the roll.Mr. BARRASSO.

Withoutobjection, it is so ordered.HEALTH CAREMr. BARRASSO. Madam President, Icome to the floor today because Democrats in Washington continue to putout misleading information about thePresident’s health care law.Last week the Senator from Connecticut came to the floor and said Republicans have, in his words, gone silent when it comes to talking aboutthe health care law. He claimed therewas a quiet acceptance that the law isworking.Well, I just want to correct therecord and make it perfectly clear Republicans have not gone quiet becausethe health care law is not working.The American people are not goingquiet either. They are not going quietwhen it comes to talking about thedevastating side effects they are feeling from the health care law.I hear it from people when I go hometo Wyoming every weekend. I heard itlast weekend. I heard it last night on atelephone townhall meeting, and whenI travel I hear about it—even just passing through the airport in Denver onthe way home, which I do each week.As chairman of the Republican policycommittee, one of my responsibilitiesis to study how policies that come outof Washington—like the President’shealth care law—affect people allacross America, including States suchas Colorado, where I change planeseach week.Last week the Denver Post had anop-ed written by Dr. Cyndi Tucker, anobstetrician/gynecologist who practices medicine in Thornton, CO, outside Denver. Her op-ed was published inthe Denver Post, which is, of course,the statewide newspaper in Colorado.The headline on the column in theDenver Post was: ‘‘Red tape isn’thealth care reform.’’Now, remember the amount of regulations ObamaCare has created is a redtape tower of paper over 7 feet tall. Dr.Cyndi Tucker, from one of the suburbsof Colorado, wants us to know aboutthe health care law from her perspective as a practicing Colorado physician.What she has to say is that the prognosis isn’t good. She writes:At my practice, I’ve found that the ACAdisrupts the doctor-patient relationship bydrowning us both in paperwork.ObamaCare authors—and the politicians. . . who voted for it—promised that it wouldprovide quality, affordable health care toColoradans. Yet it does exactly the opposite.For doctors, it makes health care more andmore complex, more expensive, and increasingly more impersonal.Not more personal, which is what wewant as doctors, as somebody whopracticed medicine for 25 years. Shesays it makes it more impersonal.And for patients, it makes finding a cheaphealth plan or finding a doctor more difficult—not less difficult as the Presidentpromised, not cheaper, but more difficult, asthe doctor points out. For me, that is a verydamaging and maybe even life-threateningside effect of the President’s health care law.PO 00000Frm 00011Fmt 4624Sfmt 0634President Obama was in Coloradoearlier this month. This week he isdoing the same thing in Seattle andCalifornia. Instead of meeting withmore campaign donors—which is whatthe President is doing—the Presidentshould meet with doctors and patients—and, specifically, doctors suchas this obstetrician-gynecologist inColorado. He should sit down withsome of the women who are patients ofthis doctor. I think they would like toask the President about these devastating side effects of his health carelaw and explain to him about how it ishurting them and hurting their families.The disruptive impact the law is having on care is drowning patients anddoctors in red tape. But that is not theonly side effect of the law that is hurting American families. A recent Galluppoll earlier this month foun
