we have got to have some sort of performance measures on them.

I would echo Chairman Rogers that you all put a little bit more resources on that.

the more we can do to work with the Republic of Mexico... will be good.

I think Roberta Jacobson should be the ambassador and it is unfair that she has been delayed for something that has nothing to do with Mexico.

the more we extend our security out, instead of playing defense on the 1-yard line, but extend it to the 20-yard line, the better it is.

If we don't enforce an immigration order after all the appeals have gone through, and they have had their day in court, then why do we need Border Patrol?

I agree.

I hope that hasn't gone up because, as Chairman Carter says, you know, we gotta work with a tight budget.

Will you keep certainly Chairman Carter, and the members of the committee, the ranking member also, and myself what the cost is?

I am one of those Democrats that I believe in immigration reform, but I still want to see law and order at the border.

At the same time, we think the wall is a 14th century solution to a 21st century problem that we have.

I think people know my policies. You know, I would like to see a moderate approach.

I would ask you to have your folks come down to the border.

We believe if somebody is put in detention they ought to be treated fairly, but that we should have detention, have some sort of deterrent.

we support immigration reform. But we do want to have order and not have chaos at the border.

But for those folks we deport--so you can understand how the Central Americans and the Mexicans and even people on my side of the, you know, on this side of the river feel. It is a little unfair.

I do support the work that you are doing on deportation. It is hard. I support full immigration reform.

I added some language to have transparency to make sure that whoever is there is treated with respect and dignity.
