I greatly appreciate you yielding, and I appreciate you doing this tonight so that we can inform the American public about how bad this bill is and what the Republicans are going to try to do in this next Congress. We heard all during the discussion on ObamaCare as well as through the last two Congresses since I've been here--I'm finishing up my second term--that Republicans are the party of ``no.'' We are the party of k-n-o-w because we know how to lower the costs of health care. And we can do it in a bipartisan manner. And in fact, during the discussions about ObamaCare, I challenged individual Democrats to introduce a bill, that I would give them the legislative language, all they had to do was write their name in a blank, introduce it, and it would be a Democratic bill. They could call it ObamaCare. And I was told by Democrats over and over again that this makes a whole lot more sense, Paul, what you're proposing here than this ObamaCare bill that we dealt with here in the House, the Pelosi original bill, and the one we finally passed that came from the Senate.

If we know who those people are, I think it is an outright security threat not to revoke their passports.

I think we can do this. It is a huge security threat to this country if we don't revoke their passports.
