If the United States has normalized relations with Cuba, why would we treat illegal immigrants from that nation any different than those from other countries? It is time we level the playing field and end the outdated, preferential treatment for Cubans.

I have been relentless in my pursuit to hold Eric Holder accountable for his actions and will not rest until the door officially hits him on his way out.

The integrity of our government, our Republic, fundamentally relies on the principle that no person, not even the president or the nation's chief law enforcement officer, is above our laws.

While Secretary Napolitano may be gone, she will not be forgotten. Her inaction and incompetence on border security will continue to plague our nation for years to come.

Our country needs more bold, conservative leaders that will actually do what they promised to do prior to coming to Washington D.C.

I refuse to go along with the status quo of more wasteful federal spending, and I refuse to let the Obama Administration continue to force their misguided ideology through regulatory overreach.

Water's about everything. And when the federal government controls water, it controls everything - that's the problem.

Do you understand about water in the West? Whiskey's for drinking; water's for fightin' over.

We do not need $1 allowed for the president to enact amnesty.

We do not need more status quo.

Our leadership in D.C. should be bold and determined.

The people around the nation, but specifically in Arizona where operation Fast and Furious was carried out, deserve more from their president and their attorney general. I will not rest until full answers are given about this project, justice is served for those responsible, and Attorney General Holder takes responsibility for his role.

I've asked the Department of the Interior inspector general to look into how much manpower and taxpayer money has been spent responding to ALEC-supported bills that force federal land managers to give land to states.

A government that can take all and can seize all, a government that doesn't trust its citizens, a government that says it's their way or the highway... that's the scary part.

Leadership has a price.

We impugn the private sector, we impugn main street America, and the bureaucracy cannot be held to any different standard whatsoever.

It is time to reclaim our nation's moral compass.

Like so many Americans, I am sick and tired of watching the rapid decline of our culture right in front of our eyes.

I'm results-oriented.

The thing about it is, I'm one of these people that if you're not getting anywhere, you gotta change it up, and you gotta ask more questions.

All men are created equal.

Nobody's lesser or greater; that's what our Constitution is about.

We need immigration reform, but we need open-air, smaller bills that are germane to an issue and have an open discussion with the American people.

It is inconceivable that releasing an illegal immigrant that could cause a tuberculosis pandemic here in the U.S. would ever be considered as a possible option.

It's absolutely shameful that Rep. Grijalva would try to use tribes as political pawns to implement the misguided agenda of extremist environmental groups.

I will continue to ask the president and his subordinates to work with Congress rather than against it.

Increased spending, all these favors that we got to do for people - it's got to stop.

I said what I was going to do. I'm going to do it. And if I deliver on that, my reelection will be just fine.

We have to learn to do more with less.

The consequences of Fast and Furious are higher crime and more deaths. I remain committed to seeing justice brought for Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and the hundreds of Mexicans who have lost their lives.

America's angry. America's scared. They want security from their country.

Our border security is laughable.

We shouldn't have to pass a bill to find out what's in it.

We have a serious problem in this country, and that is securing this country and making sure that the rule of law's upheld. And I applaud Arizona in regards to this.

We have farmers in southwestern Yuma, so immigration - they wanted to talk to us about it.

It's really hard to judge people until you see what they do with the job.

We were sent here to hold government accountable.

When it comes to politics, it's nice to be mired with Sarah Palin. But I'm Paul Gosar. I'm my own person.

I know Gov. Palin is a classy lady and has her head on straight.

When you have over 500 million dollars in questionable contributions, shouldn't that start to alert people?

Shockingly, the Government Accountability Institute has reported that the 2008 and 2012 Obama campaigns received questionable contributions of more than $500 million as a result of poor disclosure requirements.

You don't have to agree with my vote, but you need to at least understand how I came to my vote.

You're not going to find me cringe from my record.

108 members of congress have signed onto my Resolution of No Confidence in Attorney General Holder as a first step towards recognizing that he must be held accountable for the actions of his department and for his personal unwillingness to cooperate with congressional oversight requests.

It is my hope that Pope Francis realizes his time is better spent focusing on matters like religious tolerance and the sanctity of all life.

After taking office, I heard from so many constituents who said Kirkpatrick was never available, failed to respond and accomplished nothing of value... Kirkpatrick had her chance, and she blew it.

People want to give everybody a pass, but leadership comes at a price.

MAVNI was never intended to be utilized for the benefit of illegal aliens.

The MAVNI program allows citizenship to be granted to any enlistee who serves one day of wartime service.

Rather than making minor repairs to a few small leaks in the roof, the Architect of the Capitol is proposing to tear down the entire roof and replace it with something called a new vegetative roofing system. We shouldn't be wasting precious taxpayer money on a new, state-of-the-art vegetative roofing system.
