Political Quotes

“I believe the problem is simple: we need to secure our borders first. You wouldn't replace your carpet at home if you still had a hole in the roof. When you take that position, the question you are usually asked by people who support open borders is: Well, what do you want to do about the 11 million people who are here illegally? I usually answer that question with another question: What do you want to do with the 22 million Americans who couldn't find work this morning when they woke up? What do you want to do about the legal immigrants who came to America for an opportunity, with the opportunity that America promises for those who come here for a better life? What do you want to do about the high school dropout who has to wash dishes and may lose their job? Where do they go? What do you want to do about the single mom who works three jobs just to put food on the table so she could feed her family? What happens to her? Why when we talk about immigration reform is it always about the 11 million illegal immigrants who came here knowingly breaking America's laws? What about the legal Americans? What about the American workers? Where is their voice in this debate? Who's speaking for them? When it comes down to immigration reform, I believe the answer is simple: let's secure America's borders first and protect America's workers.”
