You can never satisfy any government agency's appetite for money or land. They always want more.

The easiest thing in the world to do is to spend other people's money.

If we don't have a good biometric entry-exit system I don't think we are fulfilling the wishes of the American people.

We need a biometric entry-exit visa system so we know when people enter our country and leave our country.

These countries are harboring terrorists.

The President has the ability to do this; it has been used from Jimmy Carter forward

The judge, this is judicial activism at its worst when the judge uses political rhetoric in his decision

Why don't we tap into these other countries' technology and utilize some of that here? Let's cut this process down.

So regardless of how well USCIS and Department of State do their job on visa screening and refugee processing or whatnot, if we don't have a good biometric entry-exit system I don't think we are fulfilling the wishes of the American people.

That is low-hanging fruit. We know the names of these folks; we know where they were going in most cases.

Forty-nine percent of all illegal aliens in this country are visa overstays. Forty-nine percent.

This is about democracy. This is about human rights.

I hope energy is a part of the conversation as NAFTA is renegotiated.

Create jobs for the American people, promote U.S. energy security and U.S. exports, and return to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers.

In my opinion, the prior administration did little to advance U.S. interests in this hemisphere, and, in fact, did harm to traditional U.S. policies of standing up for human rights, and the rule of law under repressive regimes that…

Clearly, the administration will need to work on a bilateral relationship with Mexico, but the United States is certainly right to seek to enforce our borders and protect our precious sovereignty.

We truly hope that under your authority, the Department of Justice will reopen the investigation into these unindicted co-conspirators.

I will call for the question.

We're going to have to, it seems to me, to go to much more of a carrot-and-stick approach on all of this and incentivize good behavior and penalize bad behavior in this area.
