I cannot think of a more humane thing to do, even though it maybe sounds a little cruel, than to deter parents from sending their children to the United States.

How come we have only deported, what is it, Senator McCain, 1,700, when the number is closer to 10,000 or 11,000?

As nice as those posters look like, they will do nothing, nothing in comparison to what planeload after planeload of children being returned to their families in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador would do.

But, we have to change those laws.

But, we are basically relying on their statistics in terms of how many people they send back?

Again, we are showing more weakness, playing right into his hands.

Does it not also threaten the oligarchs when they cannot spread their money around the world?

LNG exports from the United States to Europe would be a strategic message, would strengthen the transatlantic relationship.

I agree with Senator Murphy. This movement is way too slow, and Germany is key.

I think our reaction has been totally weak, totally lacked resolve, totally inadequate.

This is all about one man, one man's power for the rest of his life.

I am calling it Putin's pause. I actually appreciate the fact that he has not sent overtly more support.

We do not want to see a void there in Romania. It is important that we do not do that.
