The Commission endorses prevention as the principal strategy to use in deterring illegal entries. We applaud the efforts of innovative Border Patrol leaders such as Silvestre Reyes with Operation Hold the Line in El Paso.

There is no obstacle in the path of young people who are poor or members of minority groups that hard work and preparation cannot cure.

If youre going to play the game properly, youd better know every rule.

I have confidence that we can form this kind of national community.

We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.

The earth is bread we take and eat.
