By statute, Congress has given the president the authority to suspend immigration - any class of immigration if he deems it in the national interest.

What is deemed "unlikeable" in Washington is actually standing up to Washington and saying no, saying "The emperor has no clothes," saying "We made promises to the people who elected us; let's do that."

I am perfectly happy to compromise whether it's with Democrats or anybody else, as long as we're reducing the size of government.

My father fled Cuba, and I will fight to defend liberty because my family knows what it's like to lose it.

I salute the House for having the courage to stand up and fight and defund ObamaCare. And I remain confident, hopeful and optimistic the House will stand their ground, will continue the fight, which means this issue is coming back to the Senate. And when it comes back to the Senate, after the House stands their ground yet again, we will have an opportunity for Republicans to come home.

I'm an optimist at heart.

The president doesn't have the authority to change the law or ignore the law, and that's what Obama tried to do.
