"the price for crime is paid not by the taxpayers across the board, on average, so that we all share in that, but it's paid in great, huge, whopping chunks from the victims of crimes themselves."

"I would suggest one thing: We have, for the last 40 or 50 years, adopted the notion by piecemeal and by osmosis almost that mere birth on U.S. soil is enough."

"And I would say that if we had that same sentiment applied to the people who are locked up in our prisons, there wouldn't be anyone in our prisons."

"I believe all the evidence strongly supports that he's wrong about that."
