There's got to be a point where we fix the system so that legal immigration is easier than illegal immigration and show respect for people, a kid who might have been here for 10 years, that might be a valedictorian of their high school to say, no, no, no you're not allowed to go to college. I just think there's a point past which we are over the line.

If you apply conservative principles and you stick with it, and you have the leadership skills to bring people toward the cause, you can move the needle on these things, i reject the notion that we can't solve problems, that the gridlock is too enormous to forge consensus. It requires some creativity to get to a win for everybody.

They [illegal immigrants] broke the law, but it's not a felony, it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family.

There are important questions about protecting and securing the border, but we don't need to build a wall.

Our children can achieve great things when we set high expectations for them.

The notion that somehow you're going to have freedom just kind of outbreak in Cuba, I think is false.

I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.
