I think there is this misconception that somehow there is good illegal immigration and bad illegal immigration.

There is no way for these unaccompanied minor children to legally enter the United States

I want to really ask you about two things.

The perception is that there are no consequences to illegally entering the United States

The biggest impediment is the perception that the President and this administration will not enforce whatever laws that Congress were to pass.

If the perception is both domestically an in other countries that the Federal Government is not committed to enforcing our own laws, then this flood will continue

They do not really discriminate.

We are not in a quorum call, are we? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Manchin). The Senator is correct. EPA Rule

I am sure you would agree with me we do not want to get too snarled up in the red tape and bureaucracy.

We have got to do everything we can to get to the bottom of this and solve the systemic and perhaps cultural problems underlying the crisis.

I appreciate that straightforward answer. It seems almost obvious, but for some reason people want to call it 'workplace violence' or other things that just strike me as flat wrong and misleading and a little bit of Orwellian talk.

Senators David Vitter (R-LA) and John Cornyn (R-TX) are also original sponsors of this legislation.

The legislation would remove some aspects of federal oversight under the FPA that potentially could cripple the many benefits provided by the Project.

In many, many, many--too many--instances, that has proven not to be true, which has been very damaging not only to the President's credibility but to the credibility of anybody who is saying that the Affordable Care Act will work as…

The President said, when he sold the idea of the Affordable Care Act, that if you like what you have you can keep it, your premiums as a family of four would go down $2,500, and oh, by the way, if you like your doctor, you can keep your…

Responding to the question of the distinguished majority whip, through the Chair, it would help if we could alternate between sides, if that is acceptable.

If I may ask one more question of the majority leader, one final question.

The majority leader said that there is urgent work the Senate needs to turn to, which is why we ought to amend the ordinary rules of the Senate which call for a 30-hour postcloture period. I ask the distinguished Republican leader if he is…

If the Senator would yield for a question. Mr. McCONNELL. I am happy to yield for a question.

I hope the Committee will vote this out favorably.

There are too many barriers to military service members and their families voting.

As Congress and the courts have repeatedly affirmed, voting is a citizen's most fundamental right.

If our soldiers can risk their lives for us, we can at least allow them to vote.

This kind of abuse of power was not limited to the IRS, however.

Well, don't you think it is the responsibility of the Department to actually contact the people with the most information about what exactly happened, like this victim of this abuse of power, like Catherine Engelbrecht?
