"The brave men and women serving our country overseas as part of the military or as civil servants should not have any doubts about their children's citizenship. With the passage of the Citizenship for Children of Military Members and Civil Servants Act, these families will no longer have to worry about enduring mountains of paperwork and jumping through bureaucratic hoops simply because their child was born outside the U.S." 

"The First Step Act also embodies the necessary mercy and forgiveness that must accompany any law enforcement regime governing human affairs. . . . As we consider the executive clemency process, I would hope those same sentiments will help guide us."

"Congress must create accountability to prevent these hazardous items from infiltrating the homes of millions of Americans. The SHOP SAFE Act would make families safer by requiring online sellers to help prevent the sale of counterfeit products to consumers."

"The fact that Democrats sent these requests just two days after cancelling our FISA markup and putting our national security at risk is further proof that they care about one thing and one thing only: Attempting to take down President Trump."

“Given that we expect to consider reform legislation shortly after we return from recess, it is critical we do not miss this opportunity to amend the law so no future president or presidential campaign must endure similar misuse of surveillance powers.”

“Any legislation devoid of necessary reforms to address the abuses of the intelligence community against a presidential campaign and even our sitting President, including lies and fraud engaged in by top-level FBI officials, misses that mark.”
