The estimated cost for Obamacare, now the un-Affordable Care Act, are now double or triple what was originally estimated.

Medicare ended up costing 12 times more than what was predicted after its first 25 years of operation.

We are relying on the honesty of visa holders to look at that date and say, 'Oh, no. I got to get out of here by March 31.'

But I must say I am alarmed by something I just heard when the Chairwoman was asking you a question.

I think it is timely, with the immigration debate that is raging on the Hill and with the Senate taking up the immigration reform legislation.

These are folks that willfully came to this country, and we gave them permission.

I will note for the record that 40 to--roughly 40 to 50 percent, almost half, of all the illegal aliens in this country came here legally.

We do have an illegal immigration problem in this country.

I believe, Mr. Chairman, that if we are honest with the American people and have an adult conversation about the real threat and talk about real terms, that I believe we will be better off in the long run.

I want to just thank the gentleman from Texas for following up on yesterday's hearing about the Iranian threat in the Western Hemisphere.

I believe that the former Chairman of the committee Peter King needs an apology from mainstream media.

I can tell you that it's surprising that anybody with firsthand knowledge wouldn't be interviewed about this unless somebody did not want to have a complete report.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thanks for this very interesting committee hearing, very informative for me...

I see red tape as the single biggest challenge in trying to clean the system up and making it more functional for everyone.

An unusual thing happened in our Forest Service district in 2004.

As our population grows, we need space, access, and freedom of use on public lands.

I feel that I speak not only for our company, but for small outfitters across the West.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my views as a long-time outfitter in Southwest Colorado.

I think you see the bipartisan nature of investigating duplication and wasteful spending and trying to maximize taxpayer dollars and keeping our Nation safe as Mr. Payne said at the end there.

I will guarantee that those NFL teams didn't sign more defensive tackles than they needed.

I believe that the Federal Government must do more to eliminate duplicative and wasteful programs.

Those are American jobs that happened because of Mexican oil production.

Drilling equals jobs, refining equals jobs, Keystone equals jobs, transboundary equals jobs, and jobs equal the American way of life.

I say, 'So what?' Because global demand is high, that is the reason prices are high.

I think you all would agree with me that unemployment in the United States is north of 7 percent.
