risk look-at-me taking-risks
I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.
country believe people
In the old days when I was enforcing illegal immigration laws, when I had the authority from the 287G, everybody accused me that 100,000 people from foreign countries left town. They either went back to where they came from or whatever. So if this little old sheriff can cause, if you want to believe it, many, many people leaving and going back to their country, why can't you do that nationwide?
aliens crime
If you come across illegal aliens committing crimes, other crimes, you deport them.
problem making-money
I just came back from - with Trump when I endorsed him in Iowa, in Marshalltown, a little town - 27,000 - have a lot of Hispanics working there from Mexico in a private business, so they're still here. I'm not saying they're here illegally but they still come and they work, make money for their families, send the money back to Mexico or whatever, so it's a big problem.
giving immigration
You know why you have to give [Donald] Trump credit, whether you don't like him or not? He opened the door.Now there's a lot of talk about immigration. That's good. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
people
Let [Ted] Cruz - let the people go to the courts and see if he's here legitimately. I don't know. I'm not going to get into that.
people president
I'd rather report to four million people as the elected Sheriff than some governor or president, so I like reporting to the people.
thinking
If they [mexicans] cross the border, I think, and they are violating the law, then that word criminal does connect with that violation, so if they're violating the law, I guess you can call them criminals. We call everybody else criminals that violate the law.
study
All the studies say that immigrants are less likely to be criminals in the United States. That's what they say. The sources are there.
smart government deals
You make deals in business and in government if you're smart.
people sides i-can
Once I can talk to people, I switch them over on my side.
running political hobbies
I just can't surrender. I can't start something and then surrender because of political reasons. I just don't do that, and that goes back to me, why I keep running when I should probably take it easy, even though I have no hobbies, and enjoy the rest of my life.
hard-work trying taught
I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.
thinking hours journalist
I don't think Donald Trump is afraid of journalists. If he was, he wouldn't be on the TV every hour on the hour.
