The Republicans' proposal would combine the Pell grant program with other valuable but unrelated programs.

Pell grants, as you know, provide a critical financial aid to students attending college.

I do not like the way in which people are being broadly disparaged based upon their immigration status in this country.

We are already seeing Republican plans to cut Pell grants in their budget resolution released today.

I share President Reagan's vision for America as a shining city on a hill...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said this: She said our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border...

I am greatly concerned about this administration's lack of knowledge about those operations but also lack for concern for the dangers to the American people on our Southern border.

Before any coalition planes were in the sky over Libya, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control had frozen $32 billion in Libyan assets.

Please tell us what the impact of failing to extend the debt ceiling would be on the American economy.

I think this is something we should make sure we let Americans know, because they're uncertain about this, that this is something we can do at acceptable costs, with time for people to adjust.

The First Lady and the President are pushing these healthy food alternatives, particularly for low-income families.

There are a variety of rites of spring in America--the opening of the baseball season; Seder dinners... and an obscene run-up in gasoline prices.

The CFTC detects, deters, and punishes abusive trading activity and manipulation of commodity prices, which could have negative impacts on consumers and the economy.

The complexity of the system...needs to be continually reviewed, so that we can make it within the grasp of ordinary Americans.

If the Republicans--Tea Party Republicans succeed, Wall Street could return to its reckless ways, which will threaten our economic recovery and undermine our ability to create jobs.

I intend to introduce legislation today that would reform the structure of the CFPB by subjecting it to an appropriations process.

The purpose of Wall Street reform was to make certain we never had to walk that road again.

This proposed cut seems to me to be penny-wise and pound foolish.
