Steve King

I think you'll find that, when you talk to the agents, they're going to tell you Steve King is right. And we should not, as a Congress, stick our head in the sand because we feel some political pressure. We've got to do the right and…

I think it's important that the people in Congress are able to objectively look at the data that's out there, the real facts, and know that 80 to 90 percent of the illegal drugs that come into America come from or through Mexico.

What I said is that, for every valedictorian, there are 100 for every valedictorian that are smuggling drugs into the United States.

For everyone who is a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there that they weigh 130 pounds and they have got calves the size of cantaloupes because they are hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.

So you wouldn't interpret Mathew 25:35 to mean you are commanded by God to welcome anyone that comes into your country or home regardless of whether they were invited or whether they were uninvited?

We're pretty sure he calls for repentance, though, aren't we, as Christians?

Let justice be blind, but let her also be discerning.

We can honor the rule of law, secure our borders and chart a just and compassionate way forward for the millions of other undocumented immigrants living peacefully and productively in our midst.

Those who are of good moral character and a demonstrated desire to make their own way through life should be given a chance to come out of the shadows and join in the full life and vitality of our Nation.

As an evangelical Christian, I rely heavily on the teachings of the Bible to help me develop my thoughts about all aspects of life, my own and my Nation's.

I think that God does give human beings the freedom to create their own borders and to establish their own laws.

And in that he said, and God made every Nation on Earth, and He decided when and where each Nation would be, and He granted that authority to the elected officials within the countries to set the border and to control the border.

Would you characterize your life living here in the United States as living in the shadows?

For everyone that is a valedictorian there are another hundred out there who weigh 130 pounds and have calves the size of cantaloupes because they've been hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.

All of us have sympathy for children who are brought here without knowledge that they were breaking the law.

We don't have a bill before us, ladies and gentlemen. And so we can't look at the language of a bill and take a position on that language.

I think multilingual ballots become a question. There is no logical reason that ballots should be in anything other than in English.

I think there is more damage to the integrity of our election system that comes from lack of voter ID than might come from voter intimidation.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following: Sec. _. None of the funds made available in this act…

I thank the gentlelady from Minnesota. Reclaiming my time, I would be happy to yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert).

Reclaiming my time for a moment, some of the institutions out here that advocate for open borders will argue that no matter who comes into this country, if they do an hour's worth of work, they've contributed to the GDP; therefore, they're…

I agree with you that there is no sound science that says that GMOs are a risk to healthy, but we have to take this position.

Nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to.

It is a political position that has grown.

I would like to welcome and introduce Pam Johnson, a constituent of mine, but also a friend...
