[America has to import so many workers because] for the last 35 years we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce.
Leadership is about making decisions with the information you have, not the information people will have 12 years later, i kind of feel sorry for my friend Jeb Bush.

To put it in perspective, this tornado today or this series of tornadoes will probably rank equal to all of the tornadoes that we had in the entire year last year, ... So that will give you some perspective of just what an incredible disaster this has been for our state.
We could potentially be looking at taking an enormous amount of people from Houston, ... We're going to have to prepare in the event. It would tax us if we had to, but we would do it.
