In Arizona, illegal alien population is down over twice what it is on the national average, and that's because here in Arizona, we're enforcing the law.

It's time to enforce the laws. I know it's a novel idea in Washington, D.C. Some of us know it works.

When you reward lawbreakers, you get more lawbreakers. When you ignore the law, you get more lawbreaking.

It needs to be fixed. It's the greatest inducement. It is a crime to enter this country illegally. It's a crime to remain in this country.

The 14th Amendment was written in 1866, ratified in 1868, belonged to one group of people only, African-Americans, to give them their rightful place at the table that they were being denied after that war.

It prohibits racial profiling in this bill, which, by the way, the federal law doesn't.

You know, immigration -- you know, illegal is not a race. It's a crime.

The nice thing is, you need to understand, the important part of this bill did go into effect. As of today, it is illegal in the state of Arizona to have a sanctuary policy.
