Cory Booker

My friends at Kleiner have told me basically a lot of the innovations now are not happening in the United States.

We thank Senators Rubio and Booker for their sponsorship of the Wi-Fi Innovation Act and look forward to working with them on this important legislation.

We appreciate their recognition of the need to maximize this finite resource.

CTIA appreciates Senator Rubio's and Senator Booker's leadership in pushing to make additional spectrum available for unlicensed use.

Atlantic City to lead way with broadband network for public safety

And 'not causing harm' is, I guess, a relative term. Obviously, we are concerned about terrorism.

I stand to discuss what has been discussed by the previous two Senators, the urgent need for a clean bill to fund our Department of Homeland Security. I wasn't part of this body during the 9/11 attacks. I was living in Newark, NJ, and…

If you are driving an economy, increasing GDP, if you are having more entrepreneurs, is there a job benefit to expanding job opportunities for the United States, for Americans, as well?

Right, and you get more entrepreneurs in our country under a legal pathway. You are increasing a lot of economic benefits. One is job creation, as well.

I really appreciate that, and I imagine what you are saying, there is a lot of voracity to that.

I appreciate the law enforcement aspects you said. As a guy, again, who was frustrated as mayor that I could not get undocumented immigrants to come--there is fear coming forward and reporting crimes, cooperating with the police.

I was raised to be very sensitive of our American values, which are you are a citizen of the United States, whether you are a first-generation immigrant from Mexico or Canada, you enjoy certain rights and privileges to be an American…

The idea is that if you have a child, right, that is a U.S. citizen, you may not be a documented immigrant, you may not have citizenship, but the idea is that for an American child to claim that credit, right, we do not want to punish a…

I come in and I see a picture of Latinos crossing the river, and I wonder: Where is the picture of the Canadian border and the thousands and thousands of illegal crossing we have there?

I hope it is something that this Committee can focus on to deal with that problem.

I just want to express my frustration and concern.

We have right now in reality unique security challenges and significant threats along the longest border in the entire globe, over 5,000 miles, in the north.

If you are an African American, you are multiple times more likely to be stopped for suspicion of using drugs than if you are not an African American.

Our inability to pass a bill has now put at risk many of the issues and concerns.

I assert to you, I will try to get better, sir.

I am concerned right now that people are crossing our international border from Canada to bring crime and violence.

my amendment No. 155 ensures that Federal agencies disclose to the public, landowners, and communities any significant new circumstances learned about the impact of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The National Environmental Policy Act--NEPA--is…

My amendment would change that and would preserve the applications of agencies to supplement the EIS. For example, if the proposed route of the pipeline was to change, it could mean drinking water supplies and other critical resources…

I respectfully request 25 more seconds to conclude my comments. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

It seems to me counterintuitive that if the problem is getting worse, why would we let them push further into the endurance levels of human beings.
