"I am proud that this Jersey boy, straight out of Jersey City, a city known for extraordinary immigrants making extraordinary contributions to our country, will continue in that tradition."

"No one, regardless of their background, deserves that, and their crime is irrelevant to that equation."

"We must protect the rights of all Americans, regardless of their background."

"I am really excited right now, and for all of my colleagues, like Senator Graham, who love New Jersey almost as much as they love their own States, this is a very great moment that I have."
