"We must be able to control our borders; we must uphold respect for our laws."

"But we won't tolerate immigration by people whose first act is to break the law as they enter our country."

"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."

"This new order provides that the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of the order."
