This is a political deal. I know how it worked out.
We have to set a national policy, and we have to decide, first of all, how many can be allowed.
I have consistently endorsed the Canadian plan of immigration. I would take it immediately.
I think that is a governmental function, frankly.
I know the President believes in high speed rail. I think that is not yet proven, and it is very, very expensive.
We are borrowing literally 40 cents out of every dollar.
I remain disappointed that the Stimulus Bill only produced about 4 percent of that money to roads and bridges.
I think some of our Governors and politicians, they promise 20 roads and they have money to complete 10.
Delays do drive up costs.
We are all supportive of the 2-year bill that this committee has reported out.
We have two significant nominations before our committee today.
