Let's put employers in jail. Let's -- let's do the things that really are going to change our immigration system.

You know, when I wrote that article and published it yesterday in The Huffington Post, it was a challenge.

You want to end illegal immigration? Leave un -- leave the mothers that haven't had their children alone. You're the ones that say to us that you're for the sanctity of marriage. You're the ones that say to us that you're pro-life. You're…

I think we know who they're going to ask about their immigration status, and I think that's the danger.

I want people like this immigrant from Bolivia gone, gone from our streets, gone from our nation.

You want to end illegal immigration? Leave -- leave the mothers that haven't had their children alone.

Well, I think we know who they're going to ask about their immigration status, and I think that's the danger.

I think what we should do is stop looking at kind of these diversions, these distractions, about what should be a genuine discussion that we should have in this country, and come up with some good public policy.

It's time that we said, doesn't matter who you hire, what powerful influential lobbyists, and how many millions of dollars you pay them. The American people will not tolerate continuing to allow you to explore and to drill when we're…

Listen, Anderson, you can't believe them. You couldn't believe them in Texas. You couldn't believe them in Ohio. You couldn't believe them in Alaska. You can't believe them today. They have absolutely no credibility.

Absolutely. Look, every day their profits are $62 million a day. Let's remember that. How much could it possibly cost them so that they will know? How do you plan for the future? How do you take -- how do you plan contingencies for the…

I think we need to seriously consider stopping it. This company makes 62 million dollars a day, every day of the year. They don't take a day off for Christmas or for Thanksgiving, every day.

You can't believe them. You couldn't believe them in Texas. You couldn't believe them in Ohio. You couldn't believe them in Alaska. You can't believe them today.

People died on that rig. Sometimes we forget. People died.

I think it's outrageous that they will not tell us and confirm from a scientific point of view just what the damage is.

I don't. They continue to show a complete disregard for safety and environment.

I say let him stew. He already made an incredible -- he embarrassed himself. He embarrassed the Congress of the United States and I think the nation with his outburst.

He embarrassed himself. He embarrassed the Congress of the United States, and I think the nation with his outburst.

Let me be clear: the end of illegal immigration is only possible through effective employment verification as a part of comprehensive immigration reform.

The obligation to protect good workers and decent employers are the driving force behind the need not only to overhaul our employment verification system, but also to initiate real, lasting, comprehensive immigration reform.

The system must implement smarter border security, establish a program to fill true gaps in our workforce, keep families together, and require--require--the estimated 12 million unauthorized individuals currently living and working in the…

I want to say to my dear friend Chairman Schumer, millions of people are counting on you and relying on you and your leadership.

I want to commend you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing and for your steadfast leadership on this issue.

I assure you that the separation of families is not needed to build support for comprehensive immigration reform.

Any employment verification system must be part of comprehensive immigration reform.
