And I would say to what Senator Sessions said, all of us kind of look the other way as long as the labor needs are being met.

Let us get this environment corrected on border security, move forward in a comprehensive fashion, secure the border, protect America, and be fair to the 12 million people.

I think 70 percent of Americans are in the camp that illegal immigrants need to be fairly and firmly dealt with, and fairly and firmly does not mean mass arrests.

But I bet you everything I own, if you bring it up in this environment, not having done anything that is going to reassure the American public that we will not have 20 million more, that you are going to crash and burn.

Once we get there, comprehensive reform should come up, will come up, and I believe we can do it by 2012 if we are smart.

I do not think it is. I think since the last effort to solve immigration, the border security has deteriorated.

It is impossible for me and any other serious Democrat to get this body to move forward until we prove to the American people we can secure our borders.

The point of the matter is that there are two problems in America: an unsecured southern border and a visa system that is completely broken.

I hope the Congress, the Democratic and Republican leadership, will get behind this bill because the time is long overdue to act.

Past U.S. administrations had refrained from identifying Beijing as a 'currency manipulator'.

We're all living in fear of what China might do.

If China were some island nation... manipulating their currency to kind of seize a market just to stay in business for a while, that would be OK with me.

If the next generation of Americans inherits a world economy where China continues to manipulate their currency given their growth, it is going to destroy American manufacturing.

there is no doubt that China is managing its currency to maintain it an undervalued rate.

People are dying for their Congress to work together in a bipartisan fashion to solve problems that affect their daily lives.

We need to do a better job of regulating, taxing, and litigation.

Our companies in Ohio and South Carolina are losing market share not because they are being outworked. They are being out manipulated.

We borrow most of our money from China to pay our bills, and one of the biggest bills we pay is buying oil from overseas.
