Your actions in this regard truly give meaning to the phrase of 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people.'

I commend Chairman Rogers and Congress for their efforts to help coal country communities.

I urge you to end this penalty on coal communities because since that law came into effect, we have been forced to withhold almost $71 million of money that we collected from the industry to provide to coal country.

The people of coal country should not be shortchanged by sequestration when we have their money.

Our primary obligation is to ensure coal mines are operated in accordance with the law to protect citizens and the environment during mining, and to restore the land and water after mining.

I appreciate the courtesies you all extend to me.

They can keep their policy. Just don't ask for federal money.

Federal law requires them to share information. Federal law does require them to cooperate with ICE.

If they choose not to honor detainers, if they choose not to cooperate with ICE, if they choose not to share information with ICE, that is their local decision.

To base it on the lowest number in 3 years is not good analysis.

This is unacceptable and will force Congress to search for offsets in your budget to fund the required number of beds.

This reduction makes no sense.

Don't take us out on a limb and let it break off on us on this extra expense, okay?

This is not new. This is every year, just like the movie 'Groundhog Day,' just bing, and there it is again.

If they think they are not going to be detained, more people will come.

I have been very pleased with, overall, both the local and the Secret Service's participation in keeping people safe.

To say the job is challenging is an understatement.

Congress has consistently added funding for TSA to expand its canine program.

I think there is a lot of work we need to do on the requirements end of the business so that we actually know what we need to do to get the outcome we want.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time that we have looked around and seen resources going to Arizona that we really needed in Texas.

If those countries are more stable, I think people don't want to pick up and leave and come here.

Without consequences, there is no clear pathway for people to understand what their acts really are.

I commend you for doing it. I know you caught some heat above you for doing it.

Yesterday I spoke with the Attorney General and she indicated she was fully prepared to take up the case Hillary Clinton for mishandling the classified information should the evidence so be available.

Yesterday, or this week, I introduced a bill to expand COPS grants to include the active shooter training.
