Political Quotes

“The gentleman is asking me to explain a President who has sent our Government to the United Nations, our marines to Bosnia, and our jobs to Mexico. The answer is that this President is an internationalist. He believes very strongly in listening to people on other sides of the border. Now, that can be good, but it is not good when it conflicts with the thoughts of people on his side of the border. We have an absolute right to maintain a border with integrity, tell people when they come across, come through the front door. Do not come through our back door. Do not drive cocaine across the hillsides into the southern reaches of California and Arizona. But this administration has been dragged kicking and screaming to the border, and they have been a little disingenuous with us, while they are doing press conferences. They fought us on the 6,000 Border Patrol increase that we put in the crime bill and on the 600 Border Patrol increase that we put in the appropriations bill in fiscal year 1994. They fought us on that.”
