It is the same objective. It is just a different way to submit the site's plan, and it is a more expeditious way to submit the site's plan.

The alternative security plan, the only intent is to give DHS all the information they need to make a decision, improve the security of the site.

Well, first, we think your legislation is a step in the right direction to clarify roles and responsibilities.

I just want to make sure that we remember the facts as they are. There's no reason for us to so quickly revise history to meet our political objectives. In 2010, this House, controlled by the Democrats, the Senate, controlled by the…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Slaughter), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for…

By direction of the House Republican Conference, I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration in the House. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 751 Resolved, That the following named…

Then you find another $101 billion, another $101 billion in annual tax on health insurance providers not paid for by those folks who make more than $200,000, but paid for by the hardworking, everyday folks like my granddaddy and my momma…

Mr. Clarke, I would say that without any question the issue of education is not an African American issue; it's not an Hispanic issue. It is an American issue. It is an American tradition that for all access in this Nation, the power of…

We keep hearing consistently that somehow a tax that isn't a tax is now considered a tax, so the notion of recapturing overpayments from health care subsidies should not be considered a tax. It should be considered being honest and fair…

I find it quite interesting and almost hilarious that my friend to the left would talk about tax increases when in fact embedded in this health care bill is $123 billion in new taxes on property owners. Really? $123 billion of new taxes on…

We need DHS on the team to meet this challenge with the common mission and goal.

This will be a difficult task, but not an impossible mission. CFATS can work as conceived.

It is time for us to move forward in this debate. The conference committee has done their job and brought us a compromise, which is exactly what the American people have been asking for from Congress, and that is for us to work together…

One of the comments by my good friend, Mr. Polis from Colorado, was that Republicans were trying to end Medicare. That's a laughable comment. As a matter of fact, it is so laughable that hot off the press, the PolitiFact, which finds out…

No, sir, but I yield 3 minutes to my good friend from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson).

I find it quite interesting to hear Mr. Polis, who sounds like a good Republican over there, I must concede, sounds like a good Republican over there talking about excessive spending. But here's the question, the Democratic-controlled…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the…

I enjoy listening to my friends on the left talk about how they need to get on our side and stop the tax increases. But the funny problem is that the American people may like what they say, but they don't like what they do. I would only…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Slaughter), pending which I yield myself as much time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution…

Thank you, Dr. Foxx. The new rule also makes it impossible for anyone to challenge the bargaining unit chosen by the union, dividing employees and raising employers' labor costs. We stand here today with an opportunity. We can either allow…

It simply doesn't make sense. We should get this work done. We should get this fixed today. I will say as part of the majority-making class of 2010, with 86 out of the 87 freshmen on the Republican side supporting some form of the balanced…

I would just encourage my friends on the left who want to raise taxes, raise taxes if you can, but the bottom line is that raising revenues does not make you more responsible, does not make you use the revenues that you currently have more…

One of the things that is so important for us to recognize is the importance of living within our means and allowing our ability to control our spending to dictate what we are able to use, as opposed to having more tax increases as a way…

It's odd that as the American people continue to watch Congress asking for a bipartisan approach to what we do here, it's very odd for us to find ourselves in that position today saying to the American people, we are finally on the right…

I would just say to my good friend from Massachusetts that the President's jobs perspective seems to be, since February of 2009, a loss, a net loss of 2.2 million jobs. So let's just absorb that for a moment. We ought to get serious about…
