It simply doesn't make any sense for us to have illegal aliens in our custody in our courts and then let them go back to living here illegally. That's wrong and we should stop it.

It is dangerously destabilizing to have half the world on the cutting edge of technology while the other half struggles on the bare edge of survival.

Our land of new promise will be a nation that meets its obligations, a nation that balances its budget, but never loses the balance of its values.

We should not let our response to the people who disagree with us be dictated by what they say about us or even how they treat people we care for. There has to be a chance that we can find love.

By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well.

Nearly everyone will lie to you, given the right circumstances.

Let me say this as clearly as I can: No matter how sharp a grievance or how deep a hurt, there is no justification for killing innocents.
