I thank the gentleman for that information, but I would observe that we have spent the first 4 weeks considering an awful lot of legislation that didn't go to committee at all--no hearings, came right to the floor through the Rules…

I thank the gentleman. Is the gentleman prepared to bring a comprehensive immigration bill to the floor? I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. I thank the gentleman for yielding. And if you looked at our committees, we are working on it…

I yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. I thank the gentleman. We were talking about looking into the mirror. Twenty-two times the President said he did not have the power to take the action that he did. From the time he said that to the…

I am glad to hear the majority leader will not stand for it. Over a year ago, the United States Senate passed, overwhelmingly, a comprehensive immigration reform bill. The reason they are holding hostage the Department of Homeland…

I appreciate it. Mr. McCARTHY. But you also very well know, the votes in the Senate that just took place for the last 2 days were to bring the bill up. And that quote you gave from John McCain? He is frustrated because he would like to get…

I thank the gentleman for his information. The last bill he says will be on the floor, I presume that it will be on the floor on Wednesday. Is that accurate? I yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. Yes, that is accurate.

I would find it shocking if a bill ever came to this floor that precluded all debate. The gentleman is telling me it is going to come up and there will be time for debate. I don't know that I have ever been here where a bill came up that…

I thank the gentleman. I don't want to be very cynical, but talk is fine. Performance--as Ronald Reagan said: ``Trust, but verify.'' We can read the talk, we can read the assertions, we can read the promises, but if it is not carried out…

I thank the gentleman and, again, would emphasize that the majority leader, Mr. Speaker, has made it clear in his statements, both in a book that he and two others coauthored prior to their taking the majority, but he has said numerous…
