country taken home
What my bill would do would be only for refugees going forward. So I haven't taken a position on sending anyone home. But I have taken the position that we have a lot of problems here in our country. And that one of the things that we do - charity is about giving your own money. Charity isn't giving someone else's money.
believe rights racism
I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.
party empty-vessels republican
The Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.
couple people doe
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
political president constitution
I have allowed the president to pick his political appointees…But I will not sit quietly and let him shred the Constitution.
cutting the-end-of-the-day balance
If you force legislators to balance, at the end of the day, if it has to be balanced, then they step up and they become legislators and can find out where to cut.
messages establishment clear
You can send a clear message to the establishment
taxes
The power to tax and spend is restricted by the enumerated powers.
government buying financial
We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.
president borders border-security
There was a conservative consensus for an amendment I put forward called Trust, But Verify that would have strengthened border security on both refugees, students and those coming here. And Marco sided and I guess was more sympathetic to Chuck Schumer and to the president than he was to conservative principles.
jobs opportunity hiding-in-the-shadows
We should be proud that so many want to come to America, that it is still seen as the land of opportunity. Let's make it a land of legal work, not black-market jobs. Let's make it a land of work, not welfare. Our land should be one of assimilation, not hiding in the shadows.
party people needs
You need to have people within your own party that have the wherewithal to stand up to you.
believe republican platforms
The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
war russia needs
So if we announce we're going to have a no-fly zone, and others have said this. Hillary Clinton is also for it. It is a recipe for disaster. It's a recipe for World War III. We need to confront Russia from a position of strength, but we don't need to confront Russia from a point of recklessness that would lead to war.
