We in Congress have an obligation to look after the well-being of American workers.
Somewhere between 340,000 and 750,000 babies are born in this country to parents who are illegal.
I believe that local law enforcement, working in cooperation with Federal law enforcement officers, will do a fine job.
Illegal immigration is intolerable to a free society. It violates the rule of law.
My Amendment No. 267 says this in pertinent part: 'No funds made available by this act may be used to carry out the provisions of ObamaCare.' So this does is, for the appropriations that go on outside of the scope of this continuing…
I had pointed out that a placeholder in the 2008 Farm Bill would result in $1.3 billion additional money going into the Pigford claims.

So any government mandate on my business will force me to close, and 22 employees and my family and I will be ruined.
It has been real clear where I stand, and I think two-thirds of the American people seek to abolish and repeal ObamaCare in all of its aspects.
This is a ghastly, gruesome and ghoulish procedure, and it is dismemberment abortion.
For me I can't see much difference between partial birth abortion and dismemberment abortion.
Planned Parenthood is far and away the largest abortion provider in America, and they are also the largest recipient of Federal funding under Title X.
Let me say I also think now is the time to end taxpayer funding not only for abortion but also for abortion providers.
