Over 90 percent of parents in Puerto Rico want their children to be totally fluent in English.

Education is extremely important to the Hispanic community, as well as faith, and certainly working hard.

I think there is a lot of fat in the government.

We cannot continue to close our eyes to the fact that we have to truly embrace green jobs, new technologies and alternative sources of energy.

In doing what I'm doing, you have to be sensitive to the fact that you're not dealing with numbers, you're dealing with people. And I will continue to be sensitive to that.

I resent Washington telling states, or the residents of those states, what to do and what to think.

I am making sure, as the governor of a territory, that our kids speak fluent English. But having said that, I will tell my wife I love her in Spanish, and I will pray in Spanish, and no one from Washington should come down here and tell us how to go about it.
