I think that most Americans would be very troubled to think that we are giving refundable tax money that is all of the taxpayer dollars to fraudulent situations.

This really can be a huge security vulnerability for the Nation for a larger attack.

Well, that's terrific. And they're ready to receive them, and looking forward to it.

I think that is why legislation is the way that we should do these things and why I have been someone who has been trying to solve this problem and I am very disappointed that the President has decided to take executive action on this.

Our troops, who put their lives on the line for our freedom and security, should not be sent into harm's way with the cheapest equipment, but rather the best.

I very much thank you and your family for your service to the country and willingness to take on this important leadership position during these challenging times.
