For the first time ever, more than 90 percent of Americans have health coverage.

These are lands in the Nation that people are very excited about.

the policies that a lot of these cities, and counties, and states have where they will refuse to honor a detainer, to hand over a criminal defendant in their custody to federal authorities to be deported, is just unacceptable and terribly…

that refusal to share information, that refusal to cooperate with Federal law enforcement authorities, is just absolutely unacceptable.

the young lady who was shot and murdered in San Francisco, Kate Steinle, who died in her father's arms.

this is just absolutely unacceptable. It is outrageous, and has resulted in the murder of untold thousands of individuals.

Well, there were enough people that are concerned about that that you ought to know there is an American public concern that maybe the Justice Department will not do this for political reasons.

As Secretary of State, and one who is seeking the highest office in the land, she should have known better.

To base it on the lowest number in 3 years is not good analysis.

This reduction makes no sense.

If they choose not to honor detainers, if they choose not to cooperate with ICE, if they choose not to share information with ICE, that is their local decision.

Congressman Lowenthal and the ranking member were leaders in putting in legislation just a few days ago to make that a reality.

We'd like to change that, so we have a proposal that we're looking for your concurrence.

if you expect to receive Federal money, comply with Federal law.

Your actions in this regard truly give meaning to the phrase of 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people.'

I urge you to end this penalty on coal communities because since that law came into effect, we have been forced to withhold almost $71 million of money that we collected from the industry to provide to coal country.

Our primary obligation is to ensure coal mines are operated in accordance with the law to protect citizens and the environment during mining, and to restore the land and water after mining.

I again, commend Chairman Rogers and everyone who has joined him in sponsoring the RECLAIM Act.
