As chief law enforcement officer, you can't condone illegality and I don't. You also have the humanitarian approach to realize that a lot of these people are here and trying to contribute economically. |
Frankly, that's one thing that may have changed. We've had the luxury of being able to fine-tune some things that might have been rolled out earlier with a primary. |
I applaud that as a beginning for trying to broaden what I consider to be the problem, and that is broaden the number of folks who have health care coverage available to them. |
I support any clarification that private property shouldn't be taken for private purposes. |
I think that I'm worried about running my campaign and not trying to get into a particular storm with him right now. |
I think the American people will hold everyone responsible that was in charge of that. |
I think we've had enough consolidation. Let's what happens. Schools are the central focus in so many communities and they're key to a community's viability. I think we need to implement those policies that ensure that every child, regardless of what school they go to, gets at least what is constitutionally required and hopefully much, much more than that. |
I think you can look at records and you can look at what people have done and you can make your own decisions about whether someone can walk the walk. |
I think you judge his performance or mine or anyone else's on the totality of what's going on. |
If [King ] had not reacted with nonviolence and, more importantly, caused everyone else to react that way, he would have played into the hands of the people who would have stopped the civil rights movement. |
If you do that, you do a number of things. You elevate the chances of those children being successful because they don't enter so far behind and stay so far behind. You also advance the progress of the kids who didn't need it because the entire class moves faster. |
It would be better if we got out in front of it, where the court wouldn't have to do it. It would be better if we could anticipate and it would be better where we could provide those opportunities for our young people, so we're not just reacting or responding to a court case. |
It's a never-ending battle that we will continue from year to year. Hopefully it won't be court battles. Hopefully it won't be involved in lawsuits and Supreme Court cases. Hopefully it will be missions and policies that are directed by the electorate of the people. |
The first problem is we've had this border opened and people coming across the border for the last several years with no checks and balances. It's just like water going over a dam when a lake gets full. The borders have not been secure. The borders are porous. |
The first thing you've got to realize is the federal government has created this problem by not permitting their alleged immigration policies to be enforced at the borders. |
