illinois' been hit very hard. the reason illinois' been hit very hard is -- it's not because it's cold. it is cold in illinois sometimes in the winter. my friend from colorado can talk about that, too. it's not because it's flat, although parts of illinois are very flat. illinois in fact used to be and still maintains some edge, but used to be the powerhouse for manufacturing in the country. but we've seen a disappearing manufacturing in the bipartisan spirit of not trying to point too many fingers, i'll say that's happened under all administrations, where we've seen manufacturing leave. but the one difference between illinois and what we've seen in the states that surround us is a big, stifling, bloated brach government. a government that is so big it takes away the opportunity for the free market to breathe. mr. speaker, i understand and i'll be the first to admit that my party, the republican party, has not done a great job always of messaging. i think there's an understatement of the century. sometimes we get

marion, illinois, is a small city in southern illinois. prison. federal incarcerated in the federal prison are convicted terrorists. i've never heard one word from a about living in illinois the fear associated with those terrorists being in that prison. other federalre prisons exists is that they are pretty good. people don't escape from them. them feelsty around pretty safe. mr. gaffney, the notion of sending the worst of the worst to the super max prison 30 miles away from any city in the middle of nowhere where they will have little to no communication with the outside world, why does that frighten you? my testimonyd in testimony, i'm concerned about many things. there will be more violence inside the prisons and secondly, we cannot be sure, but it's a safe bet on the basis also where -- >> have you been inside a super max prison? >> i have not had the privilege of being inside a super max prison. >> please. i have visited a similar facility and most of them are in a very restricted, lockdown condition. >> as they should be. >> more than one h

. >> illinois, the 50th state. they're under a mandate of a federal appeals court in chicago to get this done by this week. they really had no choice. quinn, i think partly out of sort of idealism, part out of pre-campaign election year, politics decided to do with they call a mandatory detail which means he can start rewriting passages of the bill. that was a loser. this was a fight he was not going to win and it's pretty remarkable. for those who think that there is this wave out there of gun control mania just be reminded that illinois is distinctly democratic state democratic governor democratic legislature, and by overwhelming margin they went with this conceal-carry law on monday. >> michael: that's what is shocking about it, even more so. standing where i'm standing, it is, in fact, when you think of illinois this is the type of place where you think there is no place they're going to go ahead with this. there is no way they can override a democratic governor. it's something to keep our eyes on. it goes righ

the state of illinois past the dream act. i was sworn in on may 16, 2011, and it was the only piece of legislation that i called for. i have raised $250,000 for that fund privately, and we have a little over 100 people now going to college that could not go otherwise. that is one example of where you can do something different. recently we passed the drivers license -- four other states have done it, allowing immigrants who do not have a legal status to get a drivers license, which allows them to get employment, get their kids to school and go around. it has a lot to do with public safety, safety on the street, and have integrated people come out of the shadows. >> how did they get over the fear of being tracked down and deported? >> we are a sanctuary city. i passed it by ordnance. sanctuary city status does not live by the whim of the mayor. fourth, and most interesting, what led to today's event, is i created an office in new american and i put it in the mayor's office, and they spend all day going through hell this will i
