Sen. Mike Lee: House's "Border Security First" Approach Is The Right Sequence

CHRIS WALLACE: Senator Lee, Lindsey Graham says -- and I must say, a lot of Democrats say -- that will kill the legislation. They’re not going to accept border enforcement first and then a promise of dealing with legalization of the 11 million people who were already here afterwards. SEN. MIKE LEE (R-UT): Well, that's what they have said. It's

Peter King: Rand Paul's Support Of Snowden Is "Absolutely Disgraceful"

REP. PETER KING (R-NY): "I think it is important for the American people to realize that this guy is a traitor, he's a defector, he’s not a hero. And I heard Senator Rand Paul this morning actually compared Snowden to General Clapper. What’s happened to our country? This is a traitor. And for anyone to be comparing him to a U.S. military hero i

Lindsey Graham: "We Practically Militarized The Border"

CHRIS WALLACE: Senator Graham, you say many Republicans who were opposed to talk about border security -- they really just don't favor a path to citizenship. But the Congressional Budget Office -- and this is something Senator Lee just pointed out -- the Congressional Budget Office said that your "gang of eight" bill would only reduce illegal immig



Rand Paul On Immigration Reform: "I Can't Support The Final Bill"

CANDY CROWLEY: OK. Let me move you on here because I want to ask you about the immigration reform bill that you're going to vote on this week, probably twice, first for the border security amendment and then for the bill as a whole. How are you going to vote? SEN. RAND PAUL: I'm all in favor of immigration reform, but I'm like most conservatives

Hume: Impossible To Believe This 1,200-Page Bill Is Good Legislation

BRIT HUME: This is a big deal. It's at a critical moment in the Senate. They've developed, as you heard earlier from Lindsey Graham and Sen. Lee, this enormous bill that's basically a substitute 1,200-page amendment that would add all these enforcement measures. It doesn't exactly add to the measurement of the effectiveness of those measures, bu

Kristol: DHS Secretary Can Waive Much Of The New Border Security

BILL KRISTOL: I'm very skeptical of the overall approach of this bill but particularly skeptical of the way this bill is now being managed. Is there anything Republican stood for more over the last three, four years more vociferously than we will not pass 1,200-page pieces of legislation that are introduced Friday night, and we will not vote to inv



FNC's Political Insiders: "The Deterioration Of The Obama Presidency"

Greenwald Rips David Gregory For Wondering "If Other Journalists Should Be Charged With Felonies"

DAVID GREGORY: To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movements, why shouldn’t you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime? GLENN GREENWALD: I think it’s pretty extraordinary that anybody who would call themselves a journalist would publicly muse about whether or not other journalists should be charged wi

Schumer: House Won't Block Immigration "Because That Would Consign Republican Party To Minority Status"

SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): Well, look, this is going to be a historic week for the senate as we pass comprehensive immigration reform. We're about at two-thirds of the Senate right now. Our momentum is growing. So I believe we'll be in the neighborhood of 70 votes by the time the vote occurs at the end of the week. And I do believe that having a



Rand Paul: History Will Judge Snowden If He "Cozies" Up To Russia, "Enemies"

SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY): You know, I'm not sure what it tells us, but I think it's going to be an open question how this young man is judged. I do think that when history looks at this, they're going to contrast the behavior of James Clapper, our national intelligence director, with Edward Snowden. Mr. Clapper lied in Congress in defiance of the l

Chris Matthews: IRS Scandal Nothing More Than People Trying To Do Their Jobs And Screwing Up

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I don't know why they screwed up. They could be stupid, could be trying to do something that is very hard to do: delineate when does political activity end in one of these organizations and when does propagandizing stop? I do think it's a hard job. I've been thinking about it today, I've been reading about this in the Politico to

Lindsey Graham: Pass Immigration Reform For Good Of The Republican Party

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: As to the Republican Party, here is my firm belief. America is not divided on this, Mike. Seventy percent of Americans, including Republicans who support an earned pathway to citizenship over a 13-year period where you get in the back of the line, learn the language and pay a fine. So, to the Republican Party, this is a chance

Sessions: Immigration Bill Losing Momentum

Explaining his opposition to the Senate immigration bill, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) says the bill "grants amnesty first, and a mere promise of enforcement in the future." SESSIONS: Well, I'm opposed to the bill because it doesn't do what it says, Bob. This bill grants amnesty first, and a mere promise of enforcement in the future, even with the
