I thank the ranking member for yielding. It is sad that we are here. As a military member, I spent some time at the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey in `06, or maybe a little before in `05. I think we all, as Members of this body, have probably…

Madam President, I want to comment on an incident that occurred late last week on the floor of the Senate regarding temporary protected status, known as TPS, for people from the country of Venezuela. TPS can be provided by the President to…

Mr. President, it is my honor to come to the floor to speak on an issue that is important for so many Americans. Let me start at the outset--before I move to unanimous consent on a specific piece of legislation--by saying that I believe…
