Although the administration's commitment to Everglades restoration has been strong, I worry that some of the larger projects...have been indefinitely delayed.

The time has come to get immigration reform. We should focus on that.

We can keep looking to the past, and there will not be a solution.

It is time we stopped pretending to fix our broken immigration system. We are sitting here rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Justice delayed is justice denied, and it is really incredible to me to think that we would look at our third co-equal branch of government as a step-child.

a cynical attempt to undermine protections for Florida's consumers in order to sabotage the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

I strongly urge that these individuals have the opportunity to enlist and serve if they qualify.

In the midst of our immigration reform debate, one thing we should all agree on is that we must require those who came here illegally to give back before they can receive any additional benefit.

I support conservative immigration reform because our current system simply does not work for the individuals who share our beliefs and deeply desire to be here.

I believe it would be a grave mistake to allow millions of people to come out of the shadows and obtain lawful immigration status, only to leave them in a second-class status for the rest of their lives.

We are a Nation of laws because law provides order and structure and predictability and peace and equality and justice.

Simply put, children who were brought here hadn't committed a crime, misdemeanor or otherwise.

But let me be absolutely crystal clear and unequivocal, legalizing only the DREAMers is not enough.

I wish to thank the Chairman. I know that he and many on the other side are trying to find a solution for this problem, a right solution, a just solution, an American solution.

What makes America special is that people come here, they assimilate, they become fully American with all of the rights and responsibilities that citizenship bestows.

I say thank you for coming this far. Because even a small step in the right direction is the first step in any good faith negotiation.

What we are doing is worth it. It is worth it to sit down.

I want to be clear: I recognize that this represents significant progress, and I welcome that.

We have an opportunity now to do something that will help strengthen America's economy. An opportunity to keep families together.

I came to Congress to have comprehensive healthcare for everybody. Gone.

We can and should provide a path to citizenship for the young undocumented individuals who were brought here by their parents.

I introduced the ENLIST Act, H.R. 2377, which authorizes the enlistment in the Armed Forces of undocumented immigrants who were brought into the United States as children and who are otherwise qualified for enlistment.

Fear, fear mongering and hate and anger are underlying a lot of what goes on today here.

I think having an energy policy that goes all-of-the-above, that properly distributes electricity through the country, that we use the natural resources, I would rather we didn't import anything.

Regardless of how many businesses have they started, the millions they've invested in our community, the vital role they play in the economic development of my community, would you still support sending them back to Venezuela, regardless…
