Normally, I've found in my life that the louder you speak, probably, the less of a fighter you are. All the fighters I've had a chance and the honor to serve with didn't pat themselves on the back, were pretty humble men and women.

Ive never supported a payroll tax.

I support secure borders both north and south and I support a guest worker program for those here today illegally. Labor and skilled workers are critical to our Texas economy.

We need a human presence at the border and a humane presence at the border.

Once we secure our borders - and the federal government has not done a good job - then Congress, I believe, needs to take up the issue and look at how we try and identify those people that are here, that are national security risks to the United States.

If we don't change the way Washington operates we're going to bankrupt our children and grandchildren.

I've never supported a wage tax and I've never supported a payroll tax.
