I think the governor is on safe ground signing a bill that says not to consider where a child goes to school based on skin color. It's America, 2006. We've got to move past that. |
I would regularly hear from blue-collar workers who feared losing their jobs because they didn't speak Spanish. |
I'd like to think when my political career is over, people will remember me for something other than immigration. |
I'd like to work on other issues. I still want to change our tax laws and I still want to work on education. I just don't want to be known as the illegal immigration guy. |
I'm not even a lawyer but it feels like I've had about two years of law school on immigration. |
I'm used to them saying things about me. Everything I'm trying to do has solid legal ground. It's not a matter of racism. For me it's a matter of protecting our borders and properly enforcing our laws. |
It's kind of funny now because that was never the thing I wanted to be known for. |
That was something I figured I really knew a lot about, and I was looking forward to having a program where the biggest thing you talked about was maybe the game the night before. |
That's when I began to look into how our laws simply aren't being enforced. |
