"I continue to welcome the opportunity as a direct representative of my constituents to consider and debate our Nation's immigration policy on its merits."

"I actually think, and I think the President agreed, that the best result would have had us coming up with a comprehensive immigration policy that would address everyone."

"I am not sure that it is a partial Government shutdown and furloughing of approximately 30,000 dedicated Homeland Security employees an appropriate response to the President's executive orders?"

"I do share President Obama's frustration with the inability of Congress to produce a balanced and sustainable immigration policy."
