"The number one function of government is public safety."

"The president may be the boss of Federal law enforcement personnel but he does not control State and local law enforcement agencies."

"We cannot allow this or any other president to shut down Federal immigration enforcement efforts unilaterally."

"It is hard for me to understand, with respect to people like the sheriff and my own sheriffs, how we trust them with every other category of crime."
