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.
— Paul Gosar
Increased spending, all these favors that we got to do for people - it's got to stop.
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.
I have nothing to hide.
We have farmers in southwestern Yuma, so immigration - they wanted to talk to us about it.
When it comes to politics, it's nice to be mired with Sarah Palin. But I'm Paul Gosar. I'm my own person.
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.
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.
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.
Our country needs more bold, conservative leaders that will actually do what they promised to do prior to coming to Washington D.C.
Do you understand about water in the West? Whiskey's for drinking; water's for fightin' over.
We do not need more status quo.
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.
Leadership has a price.
Like so many Americans, I am sick and tired of watching the rapid decline of our culture right in front of our eyes.
All men are created equal.
I'm very proud of Arizona as being a leader. They're tired of being a victim.
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 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.
America's angry. America's scared. They want security from their country.
We shouldn't have to pass a bill to find out what's in it.
It's really hard to judge people until you see what they do with the job.
I know Gov. Palin is a classy lady and has her head on straight.
You don't have to agree with my vote, but you need to at least understand how I came to my vote.
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.
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.
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.
We do not need $1 allowed for the president to enact amnesty.
Our leadership in D.C. should be bold and determined.
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.
We impugn the private sector, we impugn main street America, and the bureaucracy cannot be held to any different standard whatsoever.
I'm results-oriented.
Nobody's lesser or greater; that's what our Constitution is about.
Revoking Bill Cosby's Medal of Freedom won't undo his actions or heal the wounds of his victims, but it will signal to the American people that we will not tolerate such lewd behavior.
I will continue to ask the president and his subordinates to work with Congress rather than against it.
We have to learn to do more with less.
Our border security is laughable.
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.
We were sent here to hold government accountable.
When you have over 500 million dollars in questionable contributions, shouldn't that start to alert people?
You're not going to find me cringe from my record.
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.
I wish my brother well. We agree to disagree, but he is a good man. He is my brother.
Water's about everything. And when the federal government controls water, it controls everything - that's the problem.
We do not need mindless spending bills with no reforms attached.
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.
The only way that we can disincentivize Central American immigrants from illegally entering our country is if we change our policies, tweak our laws, cut the bureaucratic red tape and immediately send them back to their countries of origin. Until then, this self-imposed crisis will continue to worsen.
It is time to reclaim our nation's moral compass.
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.
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.
