I am not stonewalling. I am following the historic policies of the Department of Justice.

Basically [I become a Republican], pretty early. I had an English teacher that got me to subscribe to the National Review.

Hillary Clinton says nobody should be deported that entered illegally unless they commit a violent felony, which is an argument for open borders and American people reject that.

Thirty years people have been asking for a lawful system of immigration to end this lawlessness, and government on both parties have refused to give it to them.

Occasionally [Donald Trump] says things that are too strong and upsets people, and I think he'll work to do better on that.

I think the elites who have done nothing about it, who don't want a wall and don't care that the border is illegal, they see this as a threat.

When I came up as a United States Attorney, I had no real support group. I didn't prepare myself well in 1986, and there was an organized effort to caricature me as someone I wasn't. True. It was very painful. I didn't know how to respond and didn't respond very well.
