At its core, the President's unilateral amnesty plan is deeply unfair to the millions who are waiting in line to become a part of our great Nation.

The majority of Americans do not agree with the President's Executive Actions. They want Congress to find a solution--one that begins with securing our borders.

This action has also 'poisoned the well' here in Washington at a time when Americans desperately want their Government to work together.

This administration has done the opposite. They have taken a sweeping approach to prosecutorial discretion that makes a mockery of the law.

The lax interior enforcement policies adopted by this administration coupled with even the perception of amnesty become a powerful magnet that encourages more illegal immigration.

History has proven that amnesty perpetuates a cycle of illegal entry into this country.

By making an end-run around Congress, the President has deliberately and willfully broken the trust that is needed between our branches of Government.

This unprecedented Executive power grab undermines the principle that the people, not just one man, should be the ultimate decisionmakers.

The President's unilateral actions to bypass Congress undermine the Constitution and threaten our democracy.

This bill would require the administration to notify Congress when it authorizes a reward under the Rewards for Justice Program.

I think all of them understand that we are dealing with a regime we cannot trust.

The WHO needs to be part of the solution, rather than a hindrance.

We cannot afford to let up, and we cannot afford to do this alone.

Improving accountability would be a very good place to start, and having country directors that are not cronies...

Without objection. Just for the record, I submitted a letter along with Senator Cornyn to the Secretary asking the same request.

I do not think the President has put a significant amount of importance on this.

Blind panic won't help us stop this disease from spreading, and fear-mongering will only make it harder to do so.

This isn't just our fight.

ISIL has to be attacked in Syria because the sanctuary, the base of operations, base of training is on the Syrian side of that border.

We need a robust response from the air, giving the Kurdish Peshmerga and many Iraqi units the backing they need to confront ISIL.

It is their fight. And we can provide assistance and capabilities and air strikes.

I have always said that the moderate Muslims' most effective weapon we have against the extremist radical Muslim.

I think that is probably one of the best decisions I have seen made.

I am glad that he finally came around on the issue, listened to General Dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs, that basically told him that we cannot defeat ISIS unless we go into Syria.

I think, in part, because it defies his narrative that he campaigned on that he was going to end these wars.
