“Thank you very much. First of all, I would like to make sure that those people who are reading the Congressional Record or those people who are watching this presentation on C-SPAN, or our colleagues who are in their offices, watching from their offices, should take note of the courage and the hard work that Congressman King has put into this issue. And it is not because Congressman King or those of us who have worked with him on this issue have any animosity towards anyone else. Congressman King is a strong Christian and knows that hatred and animosity is not a positive virtue. But to the same degree, what is, then, Congressman King's motive? Why does he put up with this? Why does he work so hard? Because he loves the people of the United States of America. That's our job. We were elected by the people of the United States to watch out for them and to watch out for their families. That doesn't mean that we don't like people in other countries. That doesn't mean that we don't like or have some animosity towards someone who has come here from another country, and even those who come here illegally. But our first loyalty and our first consideration and our heart-felt support has to be for those people who are Americans, whether they were born here or whether they came here as legal immigrants and are now part of our American family. {time} 1740 There is nothing wrong with supporting your family.…”
