I have compassion, I've told you people that over and over again. Enforcing the law overrides my compassion.

I'm a very private person, regardless of what the world may think of me.

The young people when I go to McDonald's, the Hispanic clerks will come by, 'Sheriff, can we have a picture?' over and over again. At least they want a picture with me.

You know why you have to give [Donald] Trump credit, whether you don't like him or not? He opened the door.Now there's a lot of talk about immigration. That's good. Nobody wanted to talk about it.

I love people that come from another country. I love talking to them.

I love the president Donald Trump. He supports law enforcement and I'm very humbled. I said publicly, recently, pardon or no pardon, I will be with him until the end.

I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.
