Closing this detention facility has been opposed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and even members of the President's own cabinet.

The administration often talks of detainees 'cleared for release' as if they are no longer a threat.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of life in Brussels today at the hands of evil men.

We are actually allowing interior enforcement to have a lead role in that.

My concern on our southern border is all the areas that we are not patrolling, we are not fencing, we are not apprehending anyone.

If someone can transit through Latin America through the tri-border region, hoping to do nefarious aims in the United States, then they could get to Mexico.

I appreciate State and DHS working very well with the Paraguayans on counter-narcotics and counterterrorism efforts.

Let us learn our lessons. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy.

I think everyone should respect the apology that you have offered because I believe that everyone realizes there were mistakes made at every level here, local--the local level, the State level, the Federal level.

I personally have hated to see and have spoken out for years against the fact that we have spent trillions over the last 15 years in a failed effort to rebuild the Middle East, and we haven't done enough for our own country.

If people want to do more than just place blame, but if they want to actually try to do something to help not just Flint, but cities all over this country, then I would appreciate if they would talk to me about these bills.

My guess is, is that there is very few cities anywhere around the size of Flint that are getting that kind of money or that kind of attention to their systems, and I am glad that it is happening.

I don't know that the administration is listening at this point to the Governors or the Members of Congress on this particular issue at this time.

I think the administration should listen to the Governors, just like they listen to the environmentalists with regard to oil and gas leases.

Absolutely, I think you would agree with me that we need to continue our efforts on an entry-exit visa system--entry-exit system biometrics so we know when someone enters and leaves the country.

A lot of statistics we hear about visa overstays are that 49 percent of all illegals in this country are people that overstayed their visa.

I represent a very pro-military district, but I will tell you that I have been here a long time, and I voted for the first war in Iraq because I heard about Saddam Hussein's elite troops and how great a threat they were, and then I saw…

I would rather pull the plug and not make the risk of an investment than to expend U.S. taxpayer dollars on a failing enterprise that has to be demolished.

Do you believe or would you not agree that it is appropriate to include the State Governors in the talks of moving the terrorists into their State?

I agree with you on that part, that our civil liberties and Constitutional rights should not apply to terrorists just because they are brought to United States soil in captivity.

The easiest thing in the world is to spend other people's money, and unfortunately, we have seen over and over and over and over again that there apparently are no fiscal conservatives at the Pentagon.

We look forward to working with you to ensure that exploration and production of our natural resources continues to move America to energy security in the 21st Century.

It is our sincere hope that you will demonstrate a similar commitment to our nation's energy future.

When can we expect the next 5-year plan for oil and gas lease sales to come out?

With the formation of the 2017-2022 Five Year Program, this administration will be responsible for a decade of offshore lease planning.
