What if we move to a path to legalization? How do we reconcile that with justice and fairness with those that come here legally?

My district is well-acquainted with my commitment to protecting innocent human life.

Wil Cardon understands what Arizona needs in Washington. He is committed to getting our economy back on track, upholding our country's rule of law, and looking out for Arizona families.

The president and the administration had a duty to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, but powerful constituencies of the president did not want the president to defend it. And unfortunately, politics trumped duty.

I'm a big defense hawk and a big fiscal conservative, but in this case, Pakistan continues to imprison the man who gave us Osama bin Laden and continue to have a major ideological bent within the middle echelons of their government that, I think, should cause all of us pause given the size and nature of their nuclear arsenal.

Pakistan has done some really terrible things, and yet they also have facilitated our military capabilities in ways that are critical to our country.

The administration has taken its inexcusable apathy a step further, declaring that even abiding by the few token sanctions in place isn't truly necessary, as evidenced by the now 20 countries to which the Obama administration has granted waivers to continue doing business with Iran.

False Claims Act violators who self-report generally receive the same penalties and face the same damages as those who are caught. I think this makes very little sense.

Nuclear missiles don't discriminate on party lines when they land.

An EMP attack on America would send us back to the horse and buggy era - without the horse and buggy. If you're a terrorist, this is your ultimate goal, your ultimate asymmetric weapon.

If lenders are forced to scale back student lending because private student loans are subject to bankruptcy discharge, many students will be denied access to higher education.

The Constitution gives the Congress absolute authority within the District of Columbia on any legislative issues whatsoever.

My deepest desire is to do the thing that is first and foremost just.

The Muslim Brotherhood's declaration of war against the United States is real, and the Obama Administration is again asleep at the wheel, continuing a policy of self-destruction.

The Obama Justice Department has decided to cease the prosecution of the Muslim Brotherhood's U.S.-based front groups, identified as unindicted coconspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case - the largest terrorism finance case in U.S. history.

The Muslim Brotherhood membership includes designated terrorist organizations like Hamas.

The Muslim Brotherhood has decades of violent history covertly operating in the United States and is recognized by experts as having 100 times more active members than Al-Qaeda.

If we can employ free market principles, we can help everyone.

A bad deal with Iran on nuclear weapons is worse than no deal at all.

I believe if Mr. Obama is reelected, and Israel somehow is unable to interdict the Iranian nation from gaining nuclear weapons themselves, this administration unfortunately, I'm afraid, will allow Iran to gain a nuclear weapon and then pursue what they believe would be the traditional policy of containment.

America has some capabilities that Israel doesn't have. And Israel cannot place their security in the hands of Barack Obama; they can't do it.

Either the Obamacare is a dead letter, or the origination clause is; we can't have both.

Obviously, there's always a battle over philosophical leanings and persuasions, but the bottom line here is that Americans need to understand that this is an ideology in jihadist terrorism that is dangerous beyond words, and we need the moderate Muslim voices to be heard here if this is to be diminished in Islam itself.

We have to defeat them on the battlefield and in the marketplace of ideals. And PBS, I believe, owed the nation the chance to hear the moderate Muslim voices who decry terrorism and Jihadism, and they didn't give them that chance, and that's a terrible thing.

On the Republican Party platform and the major issues of the Republican Party, Charlie Dent is significantly removed from those foundational principles in his voting record.

Paul Ryan, along with Daniel Webster, is a totally, deeply revered and respected individual in this Congress. And I love both of them. Both of them would have made good speakers. Both of them would make a good pallbearer for a man like me. They're that dear to me.

It's a strong country, but Mr. Obama seems to be doing everything he can to hold it back.

The American public should know that the Senate report actually reveals that 82% of detainees subjected to enhanced interrogation did, in fact, produce intelligence that saved American lives.

I so respect Sen. McCain's service to this country, and no one certainly knows more about torture than he does, and so I recognize that.

If we have to do enhanced interrogation on terrorists, then I can live with that.

The comment that I've made is that if unaccompanied minors can cross the border, then certainly trained terrorists probably can, too.

I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.

My smile will always be broken, but I'll always be grateful for the chance to get to do what I get to do.

My own wife is from the Philippines and came here legally to this country, and there are a lot of people that want to be part of this nation, and I want them to be part of this nation.

The people still get to choose whether they want to support conservatives or if they want to support Mr. Trump, whose record is not conservative.

If Donald Trump is our nominee, I don't think that he represents the best our party has to offer either in temperament or qualification, and I think he's the weakest candidate that is in the race at this point in terms of the general election, and that to nominate him is to give Hillary Clinton a much better chance of being president.

I think Paul Ryan would make a great speaker. And people like him are the kinds of people that we need.

I have nothing but the greatest respect and affection for Kevin McCarthy.

When it comes to our children, the most precious treasure God ever gives us, we protect them with a little sign that says, 'No guns allowed.'

Businesses - we protect our businesses with the guns, our banks, our money. We protect politicians with guns.

When the Left doesn't want to make abortion the issue, they say you're being against minorities.

If U.S. focuses on truth and justice, we'll realize that Israel has been there for 3,000 years - the same language, the same people, the same culture for 3,000 years - and it's always astonishing to me that we somehow now think that they're the occupiers.

At present, it's not really clear who is in charge of protecting the nation from solar and nuclear EMP.

Donald Trump has not always been pro-life, and I hope that his conversion is complete.

If someone came into my home and wanted to arrest me for murder, that would be far less traumatizing to me than someone coming in and taking my 7-year-old twins.

The United States Constitution does not one time even mention marriage. It neither requires Congress or the states to adopt same-sex marriage laws nor does it forbid them from maintaining traditional marriage laws.

It is my sincere hope that every person in India will experience true freedom of faith, regardless of religion.

Religious minority communities in India have endured incidents of harassment, discrimination, intimidation and violent attacks for decades, often with little hope for justice.

As we consider the shared values of the U.S. and India, due attention to the fundamental human right of religious freedom is of the utmost importance.

The truest statesmanship to which any feeble mortal can ever aspire is the sincere effort to apply the Savior's principles to human government.
