Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I've stationed a flotilla of Coast Guard and Navy ships... to make sure we could control the flow of those who came here against our laws."

"It's important for me to remember that the strength of a nation is the best guarantee of its ability to preserve the peace."

"This is a very serious matter of great concern to all Americans."

"It's extremely important to our Nation and our conscience and our soul to treat the most deprived in a fair way."
