Cuba is a totalitarian country. There is not much that goes on on that island that the government doesn't know about.

We just can't let this happen and not do anything.

But, I guess--I mean, the fact that this group got dropped is probably an indication that it had not been having a lot of success, correct?

the United States is experiencing a, quote, "unprecedented spike in homegrown terrorism."

If the U.S. Government did that and that preventing money from flowing to some of the domestic groups, do you think that that would help neuter some of the economic fuel for the extremist ideology?

I think that is true, but I just--is this a good use of tax funds for this particular group?

Well, I think that is well put, and if we could deal with that core, the free-speech stuff and a whole host of other problems would go.

Expressing concern and condemnation over the political, economic, social, and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.

The criticism that is sometimes lodged is oh, you guys are doing authorization of force--you haven't declared war--somehow that is an illegitimate use of force.

I think the witnesses have been really good so thank you, guys. And we should debate this.

We did not get everybody back and we need to do that. This is a maniacal regime. They are fomenting all kinds of problems all across the Middle East.

I think it could be done. I think it would be actually one of the few times we actually have an insightful debate on the House floor for a change.

I think if you use it, then I think that a lot of the countries are going to change their ways.

The Brotherhood, I think, represents the foundation and if we can deal with that then I think we are dealing with the problem of radical Islamic terrorists much more holistically and likely to be more effective.

I think that we, you know, hit the terrorists, kind of Whac-A-Mole, which is good--you got to take them out.

So you think the American taxpayer has a right to expect changes at the U.N.

What is your understanding about the role that your predecessor played in facilitating that?

If someone's not even supposed to be in the country and they kill someone, that is clearly preventable.

It is time to secure the border.

And so we have got to get it right. We have been toiling with this for decades. Let's get it right and let's do it.

The simple promise that the laws are going to be enforced have driven down--but I must warn you, we're in a honeymoon period.

Education costs? We spend about $17,000 on each child in the United States very, very roughly and have may be over a million illegal immigrant children in U.S. schools.

We have got to support the Border Patrol. We have got to have good policies so that people know the law is going to be enforced.

We are not talking about a 2,000-mile wall. It is going to be basically finishing the job of the 2006 Secure Fence Act.

There's a difference between people who are coming through the legal channels and it may not always be enforced, but our laws that people, when they come here are legally, are not to be a public charge.
