“Arizona really has been a trailblazer in discouraging illegal immigration.”

“We have the ability to shut down the flow of remittances to Mexico from illegal aliens working in the United States.”

“If I am elected, God willing, to the United States Senate, I will be leading the charge for President Trump.”

“The Department of Homeland Security knows of the millions of aliens who are in the United States legally and that's data that's never been bounced against the state's voter rolls to see whether these people are registered.”

“One of the things about New York City is obviously it's a very liberal place but there are plenty of conservatives that don't feel particularly well represented by Chuck Schumer or Kirsten Gillibrand.”

“Donald Trump is right - we must secure the border and end sanctuary cities.”

“I'm not against a border wall, OK, but go to China, and you'll see a border wall there. We need technology, we need drones, we need surveillance capabilities, and we need rapid-reaction capabilities.”

“This is something that I witnessed out on the campaign trail for three years, which is that there is a total disconnect between the rhetoric regarding immigration and the reality. And I'm speaking as a border state.”

“Once we lose our border protection, the road to citizenship, voting and welfare benefits for a flood of new immigrants will be all but paved.”
