Marco Rubio

We do not just want to be a military power. We want to be an economic and diplomatic one and have influence in the region.

His comments talked about if the United States builds up militarily, there is going to be a counterreaction from China.

I do welcome the recent deployment of military assets to the region.

I think these comments are concerning to our allies in the region.

It is important that we clearly understand that the administration's promises include things that are new and innovative.

I just hope that this will be reversed because I think it is a terrible precedent and a terrible idea.

I wanted to ask you about a program that I think enjoys incredible bipartisan support and has been incredibly effective, and that is PEPFAR.

I understand the concept that some of the funds have been moved to the Global Fund and so forth to fight AIDS.

Every time some of our colleagues or others visit Cuba, one of the first things they get complaints about from the Castro government is the democracy programs.

Not only are they antidemocratic, but apparently they felt these programs in the past have been quite effective.

The entire coastal region is potentially a border sector.

I just had one question, and it was for Dr. Sullivan.

We should discourage it.

I'm equally disappointed to see the continued diversion of money from the Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program.

What the heck. We're here anyway.

I'm concerned about the unintended consequences that may result from the President's implementation plan.

I'm going to have several questions about the reduction of our presence in the Western Hemisphere.

As I think is well-known, we live in a time of record deficits, and maintaining the right policy priorities is more important than ever.

I think there is bipartisan agreement that we have got to get serious about securing the border.

I fully expect there will be a healthy and I hope respectful debate about how we should address the 11 to 12 million people here in the United States who came into the country illegally or overstayed their visa in violation of the law.

This is not just some increase in the economic health of the country. It is $2.7 trillion in advantage, reducing the deficit by having more people working.

I will speak from a center-right perspective. The Reagan Republican movement understands the need to come to legal status for those who are here.

People who do not like immigrants want to look at costs and not benefits.

I would argue, I think common sense tells us, that people who can live without that fear, people who can get a driver's license, people who can fly on a plane because they have earned legal status...

I think all of us would like to see a bill that fixes the broken immigration system.
