Political Quotes

“we have all just returned from being in our districts talking with our constituents about the issues that are important to them. One thing that I have heard over and over in my district, Mr. Speaker, is border security. This is an issue that my constituents and Americans care about. This is an issue where they want to see some action. It is the problem that most of them want to see us address, and they will not accept any sort of amnesty for those who have chosen to enter this country by breaking the law. We need to secure the border. We need to get a hold on illegal entry into this country. That is the number one priority. And I thank the House leadership for doing the right thing on this issue. Chairman Sensenbrenner has passed a good, solid bill that addresses the problem. The Senate has not. The American people know it. We look forward to continuing this debate and encouraging all to join in securing the border as our first step toward controlling illegal entry into this great Nation. ____________________”
