The benefits and $174,000 per year salary that we get, we earn. It's not elaborate, it's just a bunch of poppycock that a lot of people have spread around trying to get us to hate our own government and our government representatives.

Most Americans have parents or grandparents who immigrated to this country, and we know the hardships they faced, from learning the language to dealing with prejudice.

Most people seem unaware that corporate influence and wealth has taken over public policy, such that government policy now favors the wealthy few at the expense of the people.

Don't let proud get to your head, always humble yourself.

Social Security is not just another government spending program. It is a promise from generation to generation.

My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.

America deserves common sense immigration reform that reflects our interests and our values as Americans.
