Preventing people from illegally immigrating to the United States should be the primary purpose of Customs and Border Protection.

I think that is why we're seeing conservatives uniting behind our campaign, because I have a proven record as a consistent conservative of standing up to Washington and fighting for the constitution.

Voters are hungry for principled, conservative fighters - because the threat to our liberties from Washington never has been greater.

I've spent my whole life fighting for free-market principles and the Constitution. That's not going to change.

What I've tried to do in politics is two very simple things: tell the truth and do what I said I would do.

I appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.

The thing is, is that every terrorist attack we've had since 9/11 has been legal immigration.
