- Legal
- |

- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My constituents feel betrayed by the promise that Reagan made, that if we grant amnesty, we'll then secure the border. We obviously didn't do that.

- Done

- Nov 07, 2020
My message on immigration is that the people who want to come to this country, by and large, even those who have done it illegally, are coming for the right reasons, not to take advantage of our welfare system.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a fair amount of my votes were 'not-for-Ortiz,' votes and I'm going to have to work hard to earn the 'for Blake' votes.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a government watchdog, I'm always looking for ways to make government smaller, more efficient, and fairer.
- Eye
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's Congress' job to keep an eye on the other agencies and the workings of the entire government. It is our constitutional duty.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's said that you can tell a lot about someone by who opposes them. In the case of liberal pundit Bill Maher - a man who called America's actions cowardly in the wake of 9/11 and who mocked WWII veterans who wanted to visit the monument built in their honor - I wear his disapproval of me as a badge of honor.

I'm doing a good job in Washington.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Congress has the constitutional authority to investigate the other agencies of government. We are the watchdogs of the taxpayer's money, and we have the right to know how that money is being spent and to conduct oversight over the government.
- Police
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have testimony saying, and I think common sense also dictates, that in a failed state like Syria, you don't have any government information, police reports to rely on to vet somebody. So there's no way to do a background check from somebody coming out of Syria. There's no way we can find out whether they're safe or not.
- Republican
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You turn on the TV, and you hear all these guys: 'Republican Party in disarray. Turmoil in Washington.' I don't think that's the case.

- Nov 07, 2020

Drug testing for recipients of various welfare programs - I really think that's something that needs to be considered.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everybody wants to help folks out. But we've got a system where you can stay on unemployment for an awfully long time. And I think we need to create a system of decreasing benefits over time to encourage you to get a job.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think anybody who's had an alcoholic in their life, or somebody with a drug problem, realizes that until things get bad enough, there's no incentive to change.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that we're so generous in some of our social problems that people are unwilling to get a job outside in the heat. Rather than get 15 dollars to go get roofing, they'd rather get 9 or 10 dollars in benefits.
- President
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I took an oath to protect the Constitution, and protecting the Constitution means not letting the president bypass the separation of powers.
- Giving

Immigration specifically was laid out in the Congress, giving the power of Congress to create a uniform system of naturalization.

The American people should not be footing the bill for federal employees who stonewall Congress or rewarding government officials' bad behavior.
- Educating
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe that the kids are innocent victims in this. We spent money educating them. Many of them don't speak a word of Spanish, and we're thinking of deporting them. That doesn't make sense.
- Dreamers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I did vote to defund the Obama program that defers deporting the so-called DREAMers, because that was the president's decision, and the president shouldn't unilaterally get to decide what laws to enforce or not enforce.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The pro-immigration people are really having a fit saying that I don't care about the children.
- Information
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hillary Clinton and her media machine try to dismiss, but anybody who understands anything about how email works - and this is millennials in particular, who grew up on the Internet - know that you're an idiot to keep sensitive information on a server in your house.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The purpose of the criminal justice system is both to rehabilitate and to punish. If we can rehabilitate somebody, that's a huge, huge win.
- House
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've already composed and written a letter to the House administration telling them to withhold my paycheck in the event of a lapse of appropriations.
- Paycheck
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would consider it to be immoral to take a paycheck when the people in the federal government are not.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
How is having every phone call that I make to my wife, to my daughter, relevant to any terror investigation?
- Data
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fourth amendment specifically was designed to prohibit general warrants. How could collecting every piece of phone data be perceived as anything but a general warrant?
- Information
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in any information that I share with a company? My Google searches? The emails I send? Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in anything but maybe a letter I hand deliver to my wife?
- Political
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The census should not be political.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Census data influences decisions made from Main Street to Wall Street, in Congress and with the Federal Reserve. Not to mention, the American people who look to, and trust, the data the government releases on our nation's unemployment, state of our economy, and health insurance coverage.
- Annual
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My subcommittee will be thoroughly investigating this issue and demanding answers from Census officials on allegations that the Census Bureau is changing the wording of survey questions used to determine our nation's annual report on health insurance coverage.
- Immigration
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With President Obama restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba, the immigration preferential treatment given to Cubans... no longer makes sense.

We've got the power of the purse in the Congress.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Historically, the Justice Department has been Congress' ally in fighting wrongdoing in government, but under this Justice Department and Eric Holder, rather than being the people's attorney, Eric Holder sees himself as the president's attorney and he'll do anything to defend the president.
- Our
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We all want to raise our children well.
- American People

- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We all went up to Washington on a mission to change things. What I found is that the Founding Fathers set it up where it's a little more difficult to do. We've got the Senate and the president to deal with.
- Car
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As much as I hate to say it, what I'm coming to realize is that all we're really able to do is put the brakes on. Imagine going real fast in a Flintstones car, and my heel is out there. I went to Washington to change the world, and all I can do is put my heel out.
- Problems
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the problems the Republican Party has had is that we're too fast to compromise. You can compromise on the little stuff, but you can't compromise on your core principles.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel like my mandate when I was elected was to go reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and increase freedom, and freedom isn't free, and sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what you're after.
- Still
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm still on the Trump train.
- Left
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have left the U.S. with better relations with Iran and Cuba and worse relations with allies like Israel.

Running on the pledge to end two wars, President Obama has the country entangled in three: Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, and that doesn't include the American's foray into Libya.
- Gun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Why is it every time there is a tragedy in the U.S., President Obama blames the gun rather than the criminal?
- Every American
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In 2012, the Supreme Court upheld President Obama's overreaching mandate that forces every American to purchase health insurance or face a fine.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I will continue to fight to secure our borders and implement common sense policies aimed at reducing violence and the flow of illegal narcotics, firearms, people, and money across our borders.
