What happens if you arrest somebody in your community illegally in the country? '' And they say, ''Nothing. We let them go.''

I cannot support doing this prior to the time there is an exit system that has been tested in place.

We can enhance job creation in America, and every single thing we do that rationally and reasonably and responsibly creates growth and jobs in America we should try to do.

We do not get to pontificate?

That is not sustainable, and if our debt course is not corrected will lead our Nation straight to the most predictable economic crisis in history.

It is fiscally and environmentally smart for the Defense Department to reduce energy consumption to the extent possible.

In fiscal year 2013, under the President's proposal, our Government will run the 5th consecutive trillion dollar deficit.

However, I am concerned about some areas where DoD is being forced by politicians to make green energy commitments for reasons other than cost savings to the Government.

EPA's number with regard to health benefits are widely exaggerated in my view.

It seems to me that, in fact, on this year's budget your numbers for EPA go up and the amount of funding to the States go down.

Do you believe that when you mandate a company to employ more people to meet a regulation than they otherwise would not be employing that that is really a job creator?

I mean, the numbers are the numbers.

The House Republicans have produced a budget. It is a long-term budget that changes the debt course of America.

The budget picture, 2013 would be the fifth consecutive year of a trillion dollar deficit.

Well, with regard to the State funding, I notice you seemed to react adversely to my comment based on our looking at your budget request.

Since taking office, President Obama has had EPA operating at a surged budget.

As Ranking Member of the Budget Committee, I know how tight our budget is.

In your best judgment, working for the American people, is it an effort that... can we be successful?

The chairman has played a central role in the Administration's efforts to close down Yucca Mountain Repository, an endeavor that essentially eliminates 25 years of investments; $14 billion in Government money has gone into that.

We need to confront the fact that the Administration claims to be in support of American energy, but their policies continue to drive up the price of energy and reduce the amount of energy produced in the States.

You can't delay these things forever and ever. They drive up the cost, create uncertainty, and basically will kill the new restart of nuclear power in America.

The impact of these cuts would be 'devastating' and 'catastrophic', leading to a hollow force and inflicting serious damage to our national defense.

I am disappointed that little has been relayed to Congress on how this administration intends to hedge the technological and threat-based risk associated with missile defense in Europe.

The recently released Government Accountability Office (GAO) report highlights the increased risk of highly concurrent acquisition processes.

Protecting the Homeland from the possibility of a long-range Iranian threat is a real concern.
