It is popular in the country right now, is that the Congress is too stupid to do this act.

I think the interesting thing is we can do policy and then we can do polls, and we all know how polls go around here.

But, Professor, let me stop right here. Have you smarted a small business?

Many times Republicans and conservative Republicans and myself are painted as just do away with government and we don't need regulation. That is the furthest thing from the truth. We need proper regulation.

This legislation ends the abuse of consent decrees and settlements to require more regulations.

Economic growth cannot occur if job creators continue to be crushed by the fatal grip of overregulation.

I want to state it again. As has been said many times before, but I think it is the Administration today had a chance to do what this President has said overall, that he wants to have an open Administration which reflects the priorities of…

They chose not to come again.

We do argue sometimes about things, the angels on the top of a pinhead.

The American people go to work every day, they look at these issues and they understand things that are grey at times, but they also understand process.

Well, I think the problem we have here is that they have become comfortable in the situation in which they are in.

I think it is a positive discussion. I think it is a first step.

I mean, that is a problematic, you know, issue here, and I know my time is running out.

I think people do want to work. And I think that's what I want to emphasize here.

I think one of the things that is important especially from my background is uplifting people and empowering them to do work that they feel good about.

If we only insist on comprehensive... then are we not doing a disservice for those who have come here to work?

Compromise between two things that would never take place is not compromise.

What I hear is is it is comprehensive if it has a specific outcome I like.

If the only way is to have a citizenship ending, then are we not doing a disservice for those who have come here to work and our liberty and have a deep love for the country they came for, but they come here for economic reasons.

I believe you can hold both grace and law.
