| We Need The Keystone Pipeline |

"Mr. Speaker, this Wednesday, the House will vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. This vote will come after more than 1,700 days since the application for the project was filed. Despite the outpouring of support from the American people, the President continues to delay the approval of the Keystone pipeline, which would directly create 20,000 jobs and lead to $7 billion in spending. The President keeps dragging his feet."

| Senate Immigration Bill Helps Illegal Immigrants, Not Americans |
May 20, 2013 |
|
Lamar Smith, R-TX
|
|
"Those who favor the Senate immigration bill talk a lot about helping foreign workers and undocumented immigrants, but you never hear them talk about helping American workers and American taxpayers. They can’t, because the immigration bill will cost many American workers their jobs or decrease their wages. That’s what happens when you give work permits to 10 million illegal immigrants."
