you have only one co-sponsor -- jon kyl. you serve on the homeland security committee, the committee with jurisdiction. it seems like your good friend joe lieberman should have already scheduled a markup on this. it is not meaningful legislation. it is a political document to try to get through this election and fool the people of arizona. >> thank you. the next question is about health care. u.s. did the federal government should keep its hands out of programs -- you have stated that federal government should keep its hands out the programs dealing with health care. does that include medicare? the support a long-term program to make medicare financially solvent? >> yes. we need to get politics out of as much of our economy as possible, including health care and education. costs have gone up exponentially since we passed the hmo act, and since the medicare and medicaid acts. we need to get medicare back into the responsibility of the individual. let's create our economy and find our own provider. let's find our own health in

jon kyl and i have a plan to get the border secure. we're making progress. we want the president to see the border. next time he is on a fund- raising trip for harry reid, stop by the border. we will show you why we need to get our borders secured. we can do it. i just came from a visit to israel. they have a secure border. >> mr. deakin. >> they both failed arizona. 28 years, 12 years, six years -- a republican house and senate, presidency. voters security -- border security was not a priority. one even says they wrote the book on border security. when he had the opportunity and responsibility to do something about it, he did nothing appeared he voted for met -- she did nothing. he voted for medicare part d, no child left behind, amnesty. when ronald reagan signed an amnesty bill, the senator was a congressman. 10 years later, they both voted for amnesty provisions. they both voted against putting the army and the border in 2000. we need to build a fence and get better -- get better security systems. we need to start verifying the social welfare programs. t

we do need to find a solution to it appeared that is why in 2005, i introduced a bill with jon kyl that we called the comprehensive border security and immigration reform act of 2005. i was very much involved in the debate and i will continue to be finding -- be involved in trying to find a solution. on almost every issue, other than party registration, hispanics are conservative. i think they find themselves comfortable with the policies of the republican party. we have to continue to reach out. we have to continue to engage on a lot of issues where we find common ground. i found a mistake that people sometimes make in politics is when you only communicate with somebody on something you disagree on pier there is no real basis for relationship and working through that to build consensus. this is something that the republican party needs to do better. i am trying to do my part. i can see that we need to do a better job. >> this will be my last question. i followed you to the breakfast and covered the nrsc. you seem to like your job and seemed to make gains this fall. do you want to be ch

and the administration is happy to point out that jon kyl didn't have an answer.that $680 billion over ten years, i think is what they estimate those tax cuts on the wealthy to extend them that is what it would cost, the republicans don't have a plan to pay for that. that would just be added to the deficit. and so they're trying to draw the contrast. bush tax cuts to the wealthy can be extended and added to the deficit according to the o administration, how they paint the republicans. but this $34 billion extension of unemployment insurance, emergency spending that as norm pointed out has really been on a bipartisan basis in the past, been passed, that is no, that is no good for the republicans. >> brown: we asking, in fact, hear a stronger tone from the president on saturday in his videoconference. and then today. he's decided to make an issue. >> what's interesting about this, jeff, is that he has decided to make it an issue when they have the votes. they already have the votes. he did not go on national television or on radio to push this case back when they we

jon kyl who says we ought to borrow $686 billion from the chinese to give it to the wealthiest in america and democrats who say we want to borrow $34 billion to give it to the children of america whose families are in need, yes, that is the difference, if my friend from texas wants to make that the difference. this is about saying that we have an emergency, and historically from ronald reagan to today, ronald reagan i, bush i and bush ii, what did you do when you were in charge? you borrowed during times of economic trouble to give unemployment insurance. we're doing the same thing. why did we do that? because we perceived it to be an emergency, an emergency that people in the richest nation on the face of the earth were about to run out of the ability to keep their homes, buy their food, clothe their children, a moral and great country thinks that's an emergency. that's what this vote is all about. this vote is also about, as the gentleman from texas has said, expressing our values. i agree with that. and i'm going to express my values and i urge members of this house to express their va

speaker, recently senator john -- jon kyl called unemployment insurance an unnecessary evil. i've been mystified about how the republicans could refeetedly block unemployment benefits in a struggling economy that they drove into the ditch. i couldn't grasp this reasoning behind depriving millions of american families to support the need to buy fooned pay their mortgage while they searched for work. now, i understand that republicans believe that helping jobless workers is an evil. i foolishly thought we might hear some compassion from the party that is causing countless americans to lose their lifeline. i just hope that enough republicans in the other body will find the colonel to buck their party and end this -- courage to buck their party and end this. millions of american families are counting on them. their phone calls come into my office every single day from every part of the country. when will the extended benefits be put back in? and i say, look to the republicans in the senate. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. pursuant to cl
