I mean, all I get from the constituents, the folks that I represent is that it is wildly oppressive, and they are overburdened with the excessive amounts of regulation.

How do we continue to accept sanctuary cities and its selective application of law?

It's inherently unjust. It's a blatant misuse and abuse of power to allow for such an environment to exist.

We're a Nation of laws... it requires us, people in similar circumstances are to be treated in the same way.

DHS does have the discretion in the manner in which it chooses to fulfill the expressed will of Congress. It cannot, however, enact a program whereby it not only ignores the dictates of Congress, but actively moves to thwart them.

Prosecutorial discretion is real and constitutionally valid, but it is not a synonym for anarchy.

One person does not make law in a republic and we should take heed that those who benefit from the non-application of the law today will be crying out for the full application of the law tomorrow.

Does that not scare you a little bit or should it not scare us a little bit to think that the Department of Justice has that ability to secure that kind of justice outside the court system?

So it is the very threat of the DOJ, the heavy hand of government, to come in that could probably extract a better concession, a better settlement than you could in court.

It is frustrating to sit here and hear 'I do not know' over and over and over again on questions that, very frankly, should be answered, you know, off the top of your head.
