Rep. Keith Self: "We fiscal conservatives will continue to fight to slash the federal government work force and spending in order to leave more money in your pocket."

Rep. Brandon Gill: "American citizenship is the sacred birthright of the American people. It is not a commodity for foreign nationals to purchase, manipulate, or exploit."

Rep. Randy Weber: "Coming into our country illegally? Then you MUST leave...period. That’s not “mean.” That’s how America will keep being AMERICA. If you broke in, you don’t get to stay. We cannot teach this generation that borders are optional and then act shocked when we lose the country...!"

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez: "Every American has the right to work hard and pursue the American Dream. To do that, we must reject extreme policies—on both sides of the aisle—and push for commonsense solutions to lower costs and improve working families’ quality of life."
