Chuck Schumer

We supported COPPA at the time of enactment and continue to believe it provides a sound basis for privacy protection.

Thank you, and I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman. You have done an excellent job so far chairing this hearing, as usual.

I believe when, well done, it can be an effective way of leveraging resources.

Every time New Yorkers hear about the threat of a potential terrorist attack from al Qaeda or other extreme groups, of course, it sends chills down our spines.

Thank you. I consider that good enough to say you will help us, so thank you.

I was truly upset when, for the second year in a row, the President eliminated funding for Securing the Cities in the fiscal year 2011 budget.

I had long talks with Peter Orszag. The money is all accounted for.

We have got approximately 8 million people who are illegally in the country working today, and we have a substantial amount of unemployment in our country.

When we are sitting on the northern border, we think the southern border is getting most of the resources and attention.

What we have got to do first and foremost and what you must do, in my opinion, to be the kind of Homeland Security Secretary I would like to see and for President Obama to lead effectively on this issue is to make sure that the world knows…

This idea, well, we will let everyone apply and see who should get some money, it does not work because we have to plan.

I think he should have been commended for making recommendations for progress.

With regard to the comprehensive phrase, that means amnesty, legalization, regularization or some form of fashion of it, basically. That cannot be done until the American people feel and those of us in Congress really feel that we have…

I see Senator McCain saying the American people have spoken. They want border security first. And I think that is true, and I think that is good policy.

The violence, as you know, is increasing and is a serious threat to law-abiding people in Arizona and other places along our southern border.

Stop cheating is all we are asking. Allow the currency to float in a reasonable way.

A new bill, the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Act of 2010, S. 3134, has 18 cosponsors today, including the Chairman and Senator Graham.

I cannot sit by and watch people in my State, Ohio, or anywhere else lose their job because the Congress is allowing someone as big as China to cheat.

We will be forced to defend our own interests as best we can unilaterally.

A remedy delayed is a remedy denied. The longer it is denied, the greater the injustice.

Passage of legislation, such as S. 1027, the Stabenow-Bunning bill, would distinguish actionable from nonactionable forms of currency undervaluation.

Partisanship seems to have enveloped our politics over the last 30 years.

It threatens the very nature of the Senate and I am referring to the resolution introduced by my friend, my colleague, my neighbor and the distinguished senator from New Mexico.

We will not have another hearing on the Abe Fortas nomination.

It is time to consider the reforms that have been suggested by Senator Harkin.
