I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

I went to my first national convention in 1976, when my family supported [Ronald] Reagan over [Gerald] Ford, so we've always been Republicans, but we've always wanted the Republican Party to be the party of fiscally conservative, limited-government types. And I think, sometimes, we haven't done that as well.

It's curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you're saving money.

I think what we've had in the past is the government has said, "Well, we need to collect the whole haystack." And the haystack is Americans' privacy. Every Americans' privacy. We have to give up all of our privacy.

For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, you don't build that.

If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.

I think there is some overreach in the sense that the EPA now says: if Congress doesn't pass greenhouse emissions regulations or testing, we'll simply do it on our own. I think that's an arrogance of a regulatory body run amok.
