Show us a strategy that will leave us--lead us out of this morass that we're in.

Just morally, my judgment is that Europe needs to know there is a place for these refugees to go.

I think this is a historic hearing.

What if it takes three years? Can't we provide some sort of area there for people who are in danger?

I believe the Defense Department may underestimate the critical nature of the refugee crisis.

I think it's clear that confidence in understanding of where we stand and what we're going to do for the next 10, 20, 30 years, as any leader of a Middle Eastern nation has got to think, and as we should think, as a great Nation, I don't…

If Iran continues to maintain its determination to go forward with a nuclear weapon, if we reach an agreement, our ability to sanctions and other actions could weaken.

I believe that, at this point in time, we, as a Congress, needs to assert itself.

I think it would be important to have our allies also join in that.

I really, really, really believe going to virtually zero presence in Iraq was a colossal disaster.

the purpose is to allow employers to fill slots for which adequately trained Americans are not available, not to replace existing workers with cheap foreign labor.

I do not think this--I think this is the basic, commonsense approach. We should ask ourselves what we are doing.

I could not agree more. I tell my business friends, well, free markets, you believe in those, do you not? Why are not wages going up if we have a shortage?

Eighty percent of their workers, they bring H-1Bs, hold no more than a bachelor's degree.

They are coming in at below market wages and what Congress is basically saying is any American professional who makes more than $60,000, your job is up for grabs.

I am perfectly willing to discuss converting our immigration system to a more high-tech-oriented system, more skill, more language skills, more science and engineering skills, and any of those other skills.

Well, you two professors, I think it is important, colleagues, to know that you have been joined by--in effect, I think it is fair to say--I will ask you, Professor Salzman, if this is correct.

I have got to tell you that my understanding of our role is to serve the national interest of the people of the United States.

I think it is obvious that it is in the national interest that the 1 million people that immigrate to America each year who are on a path to citizenship and come lawfully, we should tilt that number to more high-skilled people.

I just would say that this Congress represents the people of the United States. And, yes, bringing in talent to America is a good thing, but we have no obligation to yield to the lust of big businesses.

Can you explain whether an H-1B employer has to recruit American workers before hiring foreign workers?

It is painful. If you read the statements that we have got of people----

I understand that. Mr. Zuckerberg is a brilliant person.

Well, as you said, I think, in the beginning, businesses do what businesses do and if we create a law that allows them to bring in unlimited numbers of foreign workers, we are going to expect what we get.

I just, frankly, do not see this.
