People who could not even spell the word 'vote' or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama.

the other day, I went to fill up my car with gasoline, and the price tag was a little over $75. I gulped because, of course, it's always a shock, and it has been for the last several months every time I've filled up my car, and I know it…

I thank the gentleman. Earlier someone indicated that we had thousands of supporters, thousands of groups supporting this bill. Who couldn't get thousands of groups to support a bill by paying them $300 billion in subsidies? We are poised…

CBS News recently ran an expose on the growing phenomenon of illegal aliens entering the United States in order to give birth to a child. The segment shed some light on what has become an increasingly costly burden to the United States…

Now, we may think that there is no such thing as voter fraud. The fact is that unfortunately there's an enormous amount of voter fraud.

I rise today to also welcome Pope Benedict XVI to the United States and to Washington, D.C., and congratulate him for delivering an important message on the role that faith plays in the lives of every believer. Over the years, the Vatican…

I rise to oppose H.R. 5570, a bill which will again reauthorize the Religious Worker Visa. The new majority apparently thinks we need to add ``ministry'' to the list of jobs that ``Americans won't do.'' Then again, with the level of…

some in the most radical elements of the pro-illegal immigration groups advocate something called ``Reconquista,'' or that is to say, they want to have that part of the United States that was ceded to the United States by the Treaty of…

on March 25, President Bush pardoned 15 people and granted one commutation to crimes that ranged from falsifying records, conspiracy, bank embezzlement, dealing in firearms, distributing marijuana, conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud…

an article came across my desk earlier today which I believe needs and deserves the attention of this House. It is titled, ``2 Michelles, 2 Americas & Shame v. Pride.'' It was written by Michelle Malkin. She writes: ``Like Michelle Obama…

I have to ask you a question, and the question is, how are you going to convince America that you have, in fact, changed your mind on the issues immigration from when you were governor?

If illegal immigration is not stopped, terrorists could slip over the border and strike.

This is the kind of situation where somebody like me, somebody who does not have hundreds of millions of dollars of personal wealth, can still make a difference, because you can still get to every little cafe.

Look at the attack on our own culture that is occurring as a result of massive immigration, illegal immigration in particular.

Reclaiming my time, it is again not the position that we are taking here that we are, in fact, changing the decision of the court in regard to their guilt or innocence. We are saying that the punishment handed down is far in excess of what…

in fact, this is not a unique situation, unique to the extent that the House has not acted before in a criminal case of this nature, but in fact, the House has acted in the past to intervene in cases where we have determined that the…

my amendment would simply prevent the State Department from continuing to selectively ignore Federal statute. The Federal statute in question instructs the State Department to discontinue the issuance of immigrant and nonimmigrant visas to…

At the present time, it is not. But if we pass this amendment, it would be, yes. There has to be some sort of penalty assessed to the law that is already on the books or, of course, it is of no value. That is why so many cities have…

my amendment simply suspends the Visa Waiver Program for fiscal year 2008. The Visa Waiver Program was established in 1986 as a temporary, and I underline temporary, program to allow tourists or short-term business visitors to enter the…

the issue is not whether DHS funding is used in contravention. It is whether or not there is any penalty to be assessed to enforce the law that is on the books. Naturally there has been no suit brought or whatever because there is no…

No. The question was am I aware of any violations of the law, and the answer is yes, many violations of the law.

if passports alone provided the kind of security that the gentleman suggests they provide, then of course we would not need visas at all. Why would we impose this particular kind of background check if passports alone gave us the kind of…

any first responder money, any of the money we are talking about here in San Francisco, is currently appropriated in violation of the law, actually, and what this would do is establish that fact.

What we're doing here in this immigration battle is testing our willingness to actually hold together as a nation or split apart into a lot of balkanized pieces.
