statistically, 110 deaths over that period of time is not alarming to me.

It is outrageous that the immigration detention facilities have morphed into college campuses, particularly when we are dealing with a facility that costs the taxpayer $32 million to start with.

The best way to help immigration detainees is not to roll out the welcome mat at detention facilities.

It is a privilege to be recognized by you and to address you here on the floor of the House of Representatives. As I listened to the dialogue take place here in the last 30 minutes and the gentlelady from the District of Columbia, I'm glad…

Finally, the Supreme Court upheld at least some restraint, that you couldn't take the life of a baby that was almost ready to fill its own lungs with air and scream for its own mercy.

I just wanted to express to you that I am a little troubled by us being drilled down into something like that.

I am asking you why should I care what they think in California?

We submitted and essentially capitulated to a Supreme Court decision because we deferred to them.

Then if the Chairman will indulge me in restating my question, and that it does come back to is there any protection for us in this Constitution?

Is that constitutional, do you believe?

It's my privilege and honor to be recognized by you to address you here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives and to take up some of the issues of our day. First I'd like to address the situation that we are in with…

I think in terms of this, this was during the previous administration when the Department of Labor came into my district to examine some youth that were working in a convenience store.

Many things about America's work ethic are being diminished by the nanny state and this is one of them.

I want to thank the witness for coming here to testify.

Thank you very much all of you witnesses. And I appreciate especially the statements made in conclusion here.

I just think this is completely outrageous to move down this path.

I am pretty sure if I asked two of my sons that are in that business now what the number one issue was, we would have probably gotten Obamacare as the biggest load that they would be facing.

I appreciate the privilege and the honor to be recognized to address you here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives and to follow the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Shimkus) here in the well. I want to first say that he…

So I will take 10 seconds to thank you for your attention and for the opportunity to address you. I appreciate that privilege. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
