Why should guns be treated different than toasters? If your defective product injures somebody, you're responsible for it.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I sit on the House Judiciary Committee, where we've been actively working on concrete solutions to fix our nation's immigration policy, piece-by-piece.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
We can't get serious about immigration reform until we stop people from crossing the border illegally.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I will continue to fight to secure our borders and implement common sense policies aimed at reducing violence and the flow of illegal narcotics, firearms, people, and money across our borders.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
In 2012, the Supreme Court upheld President Obama's overreaching mandate that forces every American to purchase health insurance or face a fine.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Why is it every time there is a tragedy in the U.S., President Obama blames the gun rather than the criminal?
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Running on the pledge to end two wars, President Obama has the country entangled in three: Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, and that doesn't include the American's foray into Libya.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have left the U.S. with better relations with Iran and Cuba and worse relations with allies like Israel.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I think it's really tough being in Donald Trump's shoes, when you've got the media looking to put the worst possible spin to everything that you say.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I feel like my mandate when I was elected was to go reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and increase freedom, and freedom isn't free, and sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what you're after.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
One of the problems the Republican Party has had is that we're too fast to compromise. You can compromise on the little stuff, but you can't compromise on your core principles.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
As much as I hate to say it, what I'm coming to realize is that all we're really able to do is put the brakes on. Imagine going real fast in a Flintstones car, and my heel is out there. I went to Washington to change the world, and all I can do is put my heel out.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
We all went up to Washington on a mission to change things. What I found is that the Founding Fathers set it up where it's a little more difficult to do. We've got the Senate and the president to deal with.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
We need to be talking about things like the DREAM Act. We need to also be talking about e-verify. We also need to be talking about border security.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I'm not going to sell Donald Trump short. I think the American people saw something in him.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
There is no Republican out there who wants a Hillary Clinton presidency.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Historically, the Justice Department has been Congress' ally in fighting wrongdoing in government, but under this Justice Department and Eric Holder, rather than being the people's attorney, Eric Holder sees himself as the president's attorney and he'll do anything to defend the president.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
With President Obama restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba, the immigration preferential treatment given to Cubans... no longer makes sense.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
My subcommittee will be thoroughly investigating this issue and demanding answers from Census officials on allegations that the Census Bureau is changing the wording of survey questions used to determine our nation's annual report on health insurance coverage.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Census data influences decisions made from Main Street to Wall Street, in Congress and with the Federal Reserve. Not to mention, the American people who look to, and trust, the data the government releases on our nation's unemployment, state of our economy, and health insurance coverage.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I've got a quad copter on my Christmas list, as I suspect quite a few people do.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in any information that I share with a company? My Google searches? The emails I send? Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in anything but maybe a letter I hand deliver to my wife?
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
The fourth amendment specifically was designed to prohibit general warrants. How could collecting every piece of phone data be perceived as anything but a general warrant?
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
How is having every phone call that I make to my wife, to my daughter, relevant to any terror investigation?
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
If I were to leave Congress and want to start Farenthold TV, it would be very difficult. The fewer players there are, the fewer the opportunities to build a big enough audience to get on.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
You can't not approve a merger because you don't like the companies' politics. That's just not right.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I would consider it to be immoral to take a paycheck when the people in the federal government are not.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I've already composed and written a letter to the House administration telling them to withhold my paycheck in the event of a lapse of appropriations.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
The purpose of the criminal justice system is both to rehabilitate and to punish. If we can rehabilitate somebody, that's a huge, huge win.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Hillary Clinton and her media machine try to dismiss, but anybody who understands anything about how email works - and this is millennials in particular, who grew up on the Internet - know that you're an idiot to keep sensitive information on a server in your house.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
The pro-immigration people are really having a fit saying that I don't care about the children.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I did vote to defund the Obama program that defers deporting the so-called DREAMers, because that was the president's decision, and the president shouldn't unilaterally get to decide what laws to enforce or not enforce.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I believe that the kids are innocent victims in this. We spent money educating them. Many of them don't speak a word of Spanish, and we're thinking of deporting them. That doesn't make sense.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
The American people should not be footing the bill for federal employees who stonewall Congress or rewarding government officials' bad behavior.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Immigration specifically was laid out in the Congress, giving the power of Congress to create a uniform system of naturalization.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I took an oath to protect the Constitution, and protecting the Constitution means not letting the president bypass the separation of powers.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I think that we're so generous in some of our social problems that people are unwilling to get a job outside in the heat. Rather than get 15 dollars to go get roofing, they'd rather get 9 or 10 dollars in benefits.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
I think anybody who's had an alcoholic in their life, or somebody with a drug problem, realizes that until things get bad enough, there's no incentive to change.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Everybody wants to help folks out. But we've got a system where you can stay on unemployment for an awfully long time. And I think we need to create a system of decreasing benefits over time to encourage you to get a job.
Quote by -Blake Farenthold
Drug testing for recipients of various welfare programs - I really think that's something that needs to be considered.
