“Growing up, I never imagined a girl from a border town could one day become a governor.”

“As the first Hispanic female governor in history, little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. They look and point, and when they get the courage, they ask 'Are you Susana?' and they run up and give me a hug.”

“I don't think there's ever a silver bullet to any problem. There are always several answers and solutions to a problem.”

“I'm in favor of building the fence, and doing everything technologically to protect our borders. But the other way to secure the border, and one of the things we must do, is put in place good guest-worker programs that employers can actually use.”

“We are conscious of the need to maintain good relations with the United States. We have a border of more than 3,000 kilometers; more than 12 million Mexicans live in the United States. It is our main economic-commercial partner.”

“Don't talk to me about civility when you're separating families at the border.”
