“I want the government to spend money on Social Security. The government should do something. The country has a lot of debt. If the government spends too much it could be very bad. The government should do something now. I want a bipartisan agreement to spend money on Social Security.”
“I want this bill to pass. It will help the President put pressure on Russia and Iran. Russia is fighting a war. They get money from oil and gas sales. China buys a lot of oil and gas from Russia. The bill will put tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil and gas. It will also sanction people and banks that help Russia sell oil and gas. This will make it harder for Russia to pay for the war. Lindsey Graham worked hard on this bill. He was a good man. I want to honor him by passing this bill.”
“I want to honor Lindsey Graham. He worked on a bill to put pressure on Russia and Iran. Russia is fighting a war. They get money from oil and gas sales. The bill will make it harder for Russia to pay for the war. It will also sanction Iran. I want to pass this bill to honor Lindsey Graham. It will make our country safer and our enemies weaker. Russia and Iran only respond to strength. We must pass this bill now.”
“I want to honor Lindsey Graham. He worked on a bill to put pressure on Russia and Iran. We should pass that bill. But we also need to fund our military. The other side is blocking the bill to fund our military. Lindsey Graham would not block that bill. We need to fund our military and help our troops. The other side is not helping our troops. That is wrong. We need to work together to fund our military and help our troops. That is what Lindsey Graham would want.”
“I want to talk about the Constitution. It says Congress declares war. But we are at war in Iran and Congress did not declare it. The President did not ask us. He just started the war. I do not think we should fund this war. It is not right. The President should have asked Congress first. I also want to talk about TPS. We should not send people back to unsafe countries. It is not safe in Haiti. We should let them stay here. I do not agree with deporting them. It is not right. We should pass a bill to let them stay. I also want to talk about Jay Clayton. He is not qualified to be Director of National Intelligence. He does not have the experience. He is loyal to Trump. I do not think he will be independent. He is the wrong person for the job. I also want to talk about Todd Blanche. He is the wrong person to be Attorney General. He is loyal to Trump. He will not be independent. He has protected Trump and his allies. He has shut down investigations. He should work for the people. Not just for Trump. I will vote no on his nomination.”
“I want to protect people on temporary protected status. They've been here legally for up to 27 years. The Supreme Court said Trump can deport them to unsafe countries. That's wrong. Congress should pass a bill to let them stay. I request unanimous consent to advance the SECURE Act. It gives a path to lawful permanent residency. It shields them from deportation. It lets them work and travel. It increases transparency. And it says DHS must justify ending temporary protected status. We can write a better story.”
“I object to this mass amnesty bill. It would turn temporary status into permanent status with green cards and citizenship. It would even let people who were deported apply to return. But what about the impact on Americans? What about wages, housing, schools, hospitals? The Democrats don't care about the Americans who put them in office. They just want to flood the labor market and dilute American citizenship. There's nothing compassionate about that. I reject it completely. I stand with the American people.”
“I object to the President's mass deportation agenda. The people here have work permits and go through security checks. They are here because their countries are dangerous. But now the Trump administration wants to send them back. That is wrong. Some have been here for years. They pay taxes. They start businesses. They help the community. I want my Republican colleagues to support these people. I want the Trump administration to stop deporting people.”
“People from Haiti have temporary protected status. They are here because their country is dangerous. Now the government wants to send them back. That is bad. It will hurt them. It will also hurt our country. They work and pay taxes here. I want the SECURE Act to pass so they can stay.”
“Trump is bad. People don't like him. He caused high gas prices. He spends money on war. He cut Medicare. Old people pay more for drugs. Democrats want to fund the government. We want to end the war. Republicans should help us. I don't like Trump.”
