Political Quotes

“Madam Chairwoman, I understand a point of order is reserved by the other side. This amendment to the CR is very simple. The State of Arizona has implemented laws in its State to protect the dignity and sovereignty of the State. The United States Federal Government, in all of its awesome power, has jumped in and sued the State of Arizona at taxpayers' expense, preventing them from enforcing the rule of law in their own State. The Federal Government doesn't enforce the rule of law on the borders. Just recently, the GAO has reported that only 44 percent of the border is secure. That means somebody else controls the other 56 percent of the southern border, and it is not the United States of America. Arizona is trying to protect its people. The Federal Government won't protect the border, but yet it sues the State of Arizona. This legislation will prohibit the Federal Government from using its resources and any money to implement the lawsuit against the United States of America v. The State of Arizona and Janice Brewer, the Governor thereof. It's a very simple amendment. I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Carter).”
