I'm not an expert on the ways of Washington [but] it makes no sense to me that we're not funding control of our border.

Don't just talk about Hispanics and say immediately we must have controlled borders. It's kind of insulting when you think about it. Change the tone would be the first thing. Second, on immigration, I think we need to have a broader approach.

What we have in Washington is total gridlock.

Work needs to be the single biggest requirements. No more waivers as this administration has done. There should be real work eligibility.

What we need is new leadership that takes conservative principles and applies them so that people can rise up.

Sixty-five countries doing nothing is not a coalition. We need a strategy. That's the first and foremost thing that we need.

There's a fine line between stubbornness and the positive side of that, which is dogged determination.
