In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“this whole ICE thing, dragging people off the streets, is just absolutely unacceptable.”
“the reason that we're in this situation is the Democrats wanted to vote, so they looked the other way with immigration, and the Republicans wanted the cheap labor with immigration. We have not had comprehensive immigration reform since 1986.”
“I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1993, finished college, was about to get my MBA in 2000, early 2000s, and then the Marine Corps called me up.”
“We need a third-party system. Somebody has got to check the Republicans and the Democrats,”
“The Democrats and Republicans are happy to shift with the blowing wind. While one side hands out corporate welfare and subsidies, the other fuels the fire of endless wars.”
“I first raised my hand to defend the Constitution in 1993. I never put it down.”
