When I left Congress in 2001, we had a balanced budget. We were able to get it done. Let me be partisan on this. For a democrat to attack republicans on this. In the 1990s, every one of the democratic budgets spending more than the republicans were proposing and they were voting against the Republican bills because they weren’t spending enough.….Remember we had a shutdown with president Clinton…M:I think president Clinton would say he was on the other side of that.

We not only have a right we have a responsibility that American immigration is not first good for America and second good for the immigrant. Usually it’s good for both. There is a legitimate argument that I don’t think people talk about. Every community is concerned about how many people are moving in and the impact on roads and everything else. These are the kind of open and frank discussions that we should encourage without being attacked for the dialog and going back and forth.
