This is what is so terribly frustrating about trying to interact with this Administration, it is the lack of information about this.

Most of the answers are we are going to get you the answers later.

What is intolerable to this committee, and it has happened on both sides of the aisle, is we don't get answers to very basic questions.

We have given no assessment as to whether or not they have credible fear.

We exist to secure two fundamental principles: first, Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent and, second, Americans deserve an efficient, effective Government that works for them.

My understanding was when you get a border crossing card you are limited to entry to certain miles, depending on which State you are involved and engaged in.

We do, on a bipartisan manner, ask that you respond to our letters in a thoughtful way.

It is the current law; it should happen.

Honestly, there has to be a prioritization going on here.

I want to make sure, when you get back to me by, say, the end of the month--you said two weeks...

But what I worry about is you have fugitive aliens by the hundreds of thousands. You have people who aren't willing to play by the rules.

Most people, as you all have said and I believe, that come here, they come here legally, lawfully; they are good, honest, decent people.

You know, I am one that wants to fix legal immigration. We can make the fence as big and wide and far as you want, but if you don't fix legal immigration it is never, ever going to work.

If you don't have property tax, which is private property to generate the taxes that you need to educate your children, like we need in Utah.

Let us take that little bit of excess that doesn't serve a public purpose and let us put it up at fair market value and sell it back as private property.

I thank the Chairman and thank the Ranking Member for their consideration.

We need to have public testimony, where the public can judge credibility and find out whether one is credible or the other.

I just love when Americans, ordinary Americans do extraordinary things, and for both of your sons and the others that were involved, we can never forget their service.

For Al Jazeera to have it a month almost before us is just not acceptable.

One of my fundamental challenges and problems is the United States Congress doesn't have this report.

The President of the United States said before the American people and said that he would 'I think it is important to find out exactly what happened in Benghazi and I'm happy to cooperate in any way that Congress wants.'

I always tell my constituents back home, there are more Congressmen in jail for the cover up than there are for the crime.

It is an embarrassment to the United States of America that we could not get those assets there in time to help those people.
