“Imagine that. We are turning loose criminals, people who have been arrested for crimes in our country and just turning them loose among our citizens. This is outrageous. And why are we doing this? We are doing this because Americans have good hearts and we are afraid to do things that would cause great hardship and discomfort to very good people. Ninety-five percent of the illegal immigrants, much less the legal immigrants, but 95 percent of them are wonderful people, and we are afraid to do something that would cause them hardship. Well, who are we representing, anyway? Who are we supposed to represent? We are supposed to represent the people of the United States, the people who happen to be of all races and all ethnic backgrounds. The people of the United States are not one race. We are not representing a racist point of view or one ethnic point of view. We are representing the patriotic interests of every American, no matter what color he or she is, or what religion he or she is. We should have no apologies that to whomever it is we are saying, 'I am sorry, because you are not here legally, you have to go home,' or 'you are here illegally and you cannot get benefits to take away from our citizens,' we should not be afraid to do this.”
