I believe that the great majority of people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their family. But we need to control our border. It's not - it's our responsibility to pick and choose who comes in.

I don't believe you outsource your convictions and principles to people.

Over a period of time, they [undocumented workers] can have a legalized status that allows them to live a life of dignity but not necessarily a path to citizenship, so as to not create incentives for future people that aspire to come to our country to do so illegally when they could come legally.

You can love the Mexican culture, you can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe that we need to control the border.

Regarding national security, we need to restore the defense cuts of Barack Obama to rebuild our military, to destroy ISIS before it destroys us. Regarding economic security, we need to take power and money away from Washington D.C. and empower American families so that they can rise up again.

Everything's viewed with a political lens in Washington, and that's just the nature of the beast, and it is what it is.

We can rewrite history all you want, but the simple fact is that we`re in a much more unstable place because America pulled back.
