I am proud to be an American, and proud that such beliefs are at the core of our country and its citizens.

If we are to believe that our immigration laws simply have no value, as our current policies would have us believe, should we then simply throw them all out, the entire lot of immigration law? I hope not.

It is simply a fact that the birth rate of our illegal immigrants exceeds that of our legal residents.

Our values and way of life will prevail – terrorism will not.

The U.S. Forces are winning in Iraq. It is to be hoped that they will win at home also.

The American people want economic prosperity, high-quality goods and low prices, all of which I support.

Let us also reflect on the honorable service of our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces currently serving our country overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, and around the world.

I have seen the times when the grassroots has moved the Congress. We listen way more often to our constituents than the lobbyists. And the grassroots are going to have to do it.

In just three years, Iraq has achieved immense progress. It has had three successful elections in which 80% of their citizens voted, even while being threatened with death.

While tributes to Americans who had lost their lives in battle had been held in a number of towns across the nation, one of the more well-known stories about the beginnings of Memorial Day is the story about General John Logan.

And our pessimists think this has taken too long. Our pessimists believe that too many Americans have died. Our pessimists believe that we have lost the war.

Despite claims by some to the contrary, we have heard numerous times in hearings and briefings by experts that existing technologies do not fully or effectively detect nuclear material.

If the Founding Fathers and other patriots who fought during the Revolutionary War could see the United States today, I believe they would be proud of the path that the thirteen colonies, now fifty strong states, have taken since then.

You replace it by 23 percent tax, a frank, transparent tax embedded in the cost at retail, and everybody gets to takes their whole check home. And the average income earner gets a 50 percent increase in take-home pay.

Our Founding Fathers would be proud of all that America has achieved, and will continue to achieve, in the coming years.

I am proud to be an American, and proud that such beliefs are at the core of our country and its citizens.

The UN Commission on Human Rights, whose membership in recent years has included countries – such as Libya and Sudan – which have deplorable human rights records, and the recent Oil-for-Food scandal, are just a few examples of why reform is so imperative.

While the CDC is focusing on how our enemies could attack us, our military is focused on who may attack us.

I for one believe that we absolutely need an improved guest worker program, one that holds immigrants and employers accountable and yet still enables us to get a crop out of the ground in south Georgia.

What began as a revolt in response to the King of Great Britain’s repeated injuries against the colonies, soon became a passionate and glorious call to fight for the beginnings of a new country.

Mexico takes a hard line on immigration, demanding that visitors to her shores enter lawfully, and show her respect during their stay.

The voters in my district, and around the country, have demanded that Congress get a hold on the influx of illegal immigrants and tighten the security around our borders.

In fact, things are moving along rather well in Iraq. Nothing is perfect, of course, and freedom is messy work. The cooperation of the three major interests in Iraq has been remarkable.

In today’s world, new infections and diseases can spread across the country and even across the world in a matter of days, or even hours, making early detection critical.

Our soldiers have nobly fought to protect freedom since our country’s birth, and have fought to protect those that could not protect themselves, even in foreign lands when called upon.

The American patriots of today continue the tradition of the long line of patriots before them, by helping to promote liberty and freedom around the world.
