Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this is the sixth bill before this body in the past 2 days that deals with the People's Republic of Communist China. The first would have the American people believe that it enforces a ban against products that were made with slave labor from being brought into this country. What it does in reality, if you read the summary, is it provides another $2 million for us to find out which products were made with slave labor, but they still come in. They compete with glove factories and garment plants in south Mississippi, and probably compete with products made in every single congressional district in this country, but they still come in. The second one would be a prohibition of funds to Chinese religious officials. What it really does is deny people who are appointed by the Communist Chinese regime to be figurehead religious people, and they are really not. It denies their visas. That is all it does. The third is called the Forced Abortion Condemnation Act. I have a 100 percent voting record with the National Right-to-Life. All it does is condemn what they do and deny visas again to a handful of people from Communist China who want to come in. It does not change their way of thinking. The fourth is called the Political Freedom in China Act, and it spends $2.2 million to monitor human rights.”
