In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“We've got to fix the system we've got, which is broke. So I started a conversation with that, you know, it's broke. We've got to fix it. But you've got to also get enough elected officials up there to say it's broken. We need to fix it. Start focusing on it. Because it's a very unpopular topic to talk about in Washington.”
“We have to fix it. And half your listeners are going to love that idea, and the other half are going to absolutely hate it. They're going to be saying, 'Oh, they're just opening the borders, letting people in.' No, no, that's the last thing. We've already gone through that. That didn't work very well. Now, let's get the bad people out right now. Let's focus on getting as many illegal — the word is illegal — immigrants that are in this country, let's get them out and let's show them how they can come back in this country the right way, the proper way. And we can do it.”
“It's hard to find a roofer anymore. You know, of course, in Mobile, they're rolling up on job sites and checking green cards and, you know, they're catching them all running out the back. And we want those bad players out of here. But we've got to figure out how to get that labor force back in here somehow.”
