I believe our jurisdiction is not only appropriate but our need for action is immediate.

when it comes to matters of losing your limb and losing your life which is what we are talking about with collisions in cars, it is a little less important to have privacy than it is in some other areas.

I think, Ms. Chu's question, though, was who owns the data? And wouldn't you agree that, in fact, data which comes from an individual inherently government does have a role in defining what rights they have to retain, protect, or retrieve…

I want to focus on Iran--an exporter of terrorism; a killer, directly and indirectly, of Americans; a kidnapper, indirectly and directly, of Americans since 1979.

Is that what we mean by coming forward?

We are releasing known criminals back into society so society will help us catch known criminals.

For your entire life, from the age of 1 year old, Iran has been a terrorist state.

They just fundamentally fail to understand that border security... are fundamental conditions precedent to fixing our broken immigration system.

What in this defendant's background leads you to believe that he would ever come forward or get on the books or get right with the law?

There is a clear answer to this problem: compliance with ICE detainers must be mandatory.

These tragedies were preventable. This Administration must reverse its wholesale and unprecedented shutdown of immigration enforcement.

For 36 years, Tehran has sponsored terrorists from around the world and killed Americans and countless others.

A terrorist state for 36 years, given more money and less things that would cause the toppling of it, will undoubtedly continue doing for the future what they have done for 36 years in the past.

Secretary Johnson's solution, the Priorities Enforcement Program, is a failure.

I will be interested to know now that, as Mr. Deutch mentioned, now that the Arab Spring has proven that eliminating a dictator and replacing them with democracy is not the answer.

Every day ISIS is in the front lines of discussion while, in fact, the areas that have fomented so much of this opportunity for extremism sometimes doesn't get looked at properly.

The clear answer to this problem is for DHS to mandate compliance with detainers and for this Administration to defend the mandatory nature of detainers in Federal court.

This man is not an immigrant. Immigrants come here to work hard, sweat, and toil.

Under the agreement with the sunset clause, during the next 10 years incrementally Iran is, clearly, going to have more money, more access to weapons, more freedom of movement than they would if we did nothing at all under the current…

Hope is not a strategy.

I think what we can all agree on is to return someone with his criminal history to a jurisdiction that had no intention whatsoever of ever prosecuting him, and in the process he is released, should be an affront to everyone, irrespective…

In this short 1 minute, I will close by reminding people that Ronald Reagan so notably said: ``Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.'' This is a permanent program that is only paid for in offsets at one- quarter what it…

The fact is, if the deal is to allow the equivalent of the entire World War II Luftwaffe sitting on the ground...

So one thing that Congress could do in appropriation or other appropriate areas is insist that you have that access so that perhaps beyond hope you could also have participation.

And their statement to you is, 'We are going to do better.' That is kind of like the guy that owes you money saying he will pay you when his brother straightens out, but then you find out his brother is a hunchback.
