Political Quotes

“I believe that no matter what happens in the votes on this floor, the people of the United States understand we have a problem when we are providing a benefit level to illegal aliens to such a degree that it is attracting people from all over the world to come here. This is a major threat to the well-being of the people of my State. I want Members to know that those illegal aliens coming to my State, the people providing those services are taxpayers from all over the country. And the flood of illegal aliens we have experienced will continue to grow and grow until it affects every State, if we send the message to the world that anyone who can come here is going to get the same benefits as an American citizen or a legal resident. It is a giant, 100-mile-high welcome home or welcome here sign to anybody who wants to improve the well-being of their family. But we cannot afford to take care of everyone in the world.”
