John McCain

I remain a strong supporter of the President's decision to take military action in Libya.

We must not fail in Libya.

I continue to get complaints from people who are subject to this physical pat-down.

I think that it would be great if at least once for the Administration to come and sit down with us who are in border States.

There are between 100 and 200 spotters sitting on mountains in Arizona.

I cannot say to the citizens of Pinal County... that we have the border secure.

I have seen that movie before. I saw it in 1986 when we gave amnesty to 2 million people.

One of the misnomers that I think is out in America is that we cannot control our border.

So to somehow assert that comprehensive immigration reform will stop or stem the flow of people coming into this country illegally, I think, has not been authenticated by history.

Isn't it that the key here is not just a fence but also the surveillance capabilities plus manpower?

I can tell you, myself and the majority of people in Arizona, I think throughout America, are saying absolutely not, until this border is secured.

The deadly violence in Mexico has fundamentally changed the jobs of law enforcement along the border.

We need to address the issue of demand, and I agree with you on that very seriously.

I think your announcement today that you have directed the CBP to develop a new metric... is very important.

Phoenix, Arizona, in their view, and other experts' view, is the distribution center for drugs around this country.

What we are seeking is the National Guard to supplement the Border Patrol and not through military action.

I strongly appreciate and respect your view, but I strongly disagree. And I think the lessons of history are on my side.

Sheriff, all roads from these three counties go to Pinal County.

The job of sheriff or sheriff's deputy is more difficult, more challenging, and more dangerous than ever before.

I think we have also got to take into consideration a statistic that was testified to last week that would probably surprise most people, which is that, depending on who you talk to, between 35 and 45 percent of the people now in this…

Senator McCain has told us, if you keep seeing people crossing your land, well, that is pretty obvious that the system is not working.

Frankly, he had no answer to that dilemma. That is a problem, isn't it, Mr. Stana?

I think that is a good example of another way to counter these people.

When you go to those places... they recognize that there is an infrastructure in place in which they can have confidence.

The existing system of judging border security by the number of apprehensions 'does not cut it.'
