I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.

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

I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.

I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.

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.

Once I can talk to people, I switch them over on my side.
