I am begging you. Sarah has 3 to 5 weeks to live. Time is running out.

Transplants should be based, I believe, on the severity of the illness and not the person's age.

Six years ago the NRC went around the committee authorization process and committed the taxpayers to $350 million for a building that you can't fill.

But half of a building, you are willing to give up half of a building that you charged the taxpayers with $90 million to tailor-make it for you. What about that money? Can you imagine? Would you do that with your home?

40 percent of them overstayed their visas and are a possible threat to our National security.

I believe that these overstays are a much, much more serious National threat.

without enforcement, our laws mean nothing. I am very concerned that what we are doing is really just creating a paper tiger.

Unless this is addressed, I see this as a major stumbling block to immigration reform.

On rollcall vote No. 144 for the National Blue Alert Act, I was unavoidably detained. I would have voted ``aye.'' ____________________

I think simply put, you wouldn't replace the carpeting in your home if you still had a hole in your roof.

I believe our first priority in any type of immigration laws are, No. 1, to protect the American people.

Over 40 percent of the people that are in the country illegally didn't cross a border.

Do you agree that, first of all, that adequate truck parking facilities are a critical safety and infrastructure investment?

As local entities, how can we increase roadway safety infrastructure on locally owned roads to reduce fatalities and serious injuries?

I couldn't disagree with that more. I believe we have now made our borders less secure because millions, millions of people are now being encouraged to come to the United States illegally.

Well, it is absolutely true. I'll give you an example. We had arrested a young man for selling cocaine on a playground. The man was in the country illegally. It took our detectives 5 hours to determine who he was. He had five Social…

The position has not changed. And, in fact, I believe the fact that I stood up for the rule of law and I speak for the importance of protecting our national security and our American jobs here, it has allowed me to win elections, getting…

I believe it would. And again, what I found in my hands-on experience as a mayor in dealing with the problem of illegal immigration, plus a city whose Hispanic population had exploded, for example, to show you how fast our population had…

Thank you, Congressman King. Recently, there has been a lot of talk in Washington about illegal immigration. As the mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, after it was estimated that 10 percent of our entire population was there illegally, I…

I believe that people all over the country understand what I'm saying, that illegal immigration is crushing our cities. Our population in Hazleton grew by 50 percent, but our tax revenue remained the same. Our population grew by 50…

Sure. When I was mayor of Hazleton, over 40 percent of the entire population of Hazleton was Hispanic, and I won with over 90 percent of the vote. And I don't know of anyone at the time who took a harder stance against illegal immigration…

Well I did, actually. The final straw for me that made me realize that I needed to do something to protect the people in my town actually happened on May 10, 2006. It was a day that I'll never forget. Earlier in the day we had arrested a…

If you could prevent just one terrorist from being granted legal status, wouldn't you agree that it is worth the wait?

You can't just do it every 20 years. Immigration, the flow of people, the reasons why they come across, the reasons why businesses want certain types of workers, that is going to change year after year after year.

What makes this promise to the American people any different than the one in 1986?
