I'd like to start, Mister--Dr. Eastman, with a question for you.

The 700,000 Texans that I have the opportunity to represent, like most Americans, are deeply concerned about the impacts of illegal immigration in this country.

So many of my constituents are frustrated with what they are seeing right now as a willful disregard for the rule of law in this--in this country.

So many of the folks that I represent feel that the current policy encourages folks to come to the United States solely for that purpose.

this 300-page net neutrality rule really embodies the two things that my constituents dislike the most about Washington
