My dad came from Cuba when he was a teenager not speaking English. And I grew up here speaking Spanglish. That's the world in which I grew up, and that's a world in which a lot of second generation immigrants find themselves.

I believe everyone here has a right to speak out on politics as effectively as possible.

I believe the American people are looking for someone to speak the truth.

The authority to declare war rests in Congress, not in an out-of-control president.

I'm not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn't come over to my house. I don't hang out with Ted Nugent.

I'm a big fan of Rand Paul; he and I are good friends. I don't agree with him on foreign policy.
