If they overstay their welcome, if they overstay their student visa, are we systematically going through--like Senator Lieberman talked about with the exit program, do we have an exit program on all student visas?

The 59,000 refugees that Senator Collins brought up, you say you are going to screen them.

It is insulting our privacy. Our parents do not like it. Our kids do not like it. It needs to change.

But it is not a totalitarian regime. We have a democracy over there. We are supposed to be proud of that government.

The policy should change.

Perhaps it is that our philosophy is that everyone is potentially a terrorist and everyone has an equal chance of being a terrorist.

You will screen all 59,000.

I believe we continue to have security breaches, and I think there are two possibilities.

Currently, the invasive patdown searches are random and not based on risk assessment?

Our approach should not be: Because there was an 8-year-old with a bomb in Afghanistan, all 8-year-olds in America are a threat to our country.

We need to admit fewer people. There is no reason we should be admitting 60,000 people, and we need to address that policy.

After we showed him the outrage--and he has to be reading the newspaper--over patting down these children, he said TSA was changing its procedure.

I think the most serious threats to our country from terrorism probably come from travel visas, refugee visas, and student visas.

If their fingerprints were in an FBI database, why weren't they checked?

We should have a frequent flyer program that you can voluntarily participate in.

So I would say, the sooner, the better, we can come home. This process says come home. Under the law, it says you should start bringing troops home within 30 days. This allows up to the end of the year after this would be passed. But this…

If we do nothing, all the programs people are so fond of extolling and saying we need money for will be gone. So I implore the American public and those here to look at the problem and to say to Congress: You are not doing enough. You must…

I find that all of the arguments for energy efficiency, you're exactly right. We should conserve energy.

I find it insulting that a lot of these products that you're going to make us buy. You won't let us buy what we want to buy.

You busy bodies always want to do something to tell us how we can live our lives better.

I find it really an affront to the sensibility of the idea and notion of the free marketplace, of capitalism, of freedom of choice.

But you restrict our choices, correct?

Everything costs more to go back and retrofit the toilets that don't work.

You take away our choices. These things you want us to buy are often made in foreign countries.

I find it really appalling and hypocritical.
