I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

I had fought against the unjust restriction of immigration.

All I did was ask for rights. I didn't attack anyone. I didn't harass anyone. I didn't oppose the system or the country or the authority. All I said is, 'Why can't I drive?'

For decades, I have cringed whenever someone called me 'illegal,' as if I'm an insect on someone's back. I found out I didn't have the right papers - that I was here illegally - when I tried to get a driver's permit at age 16. But I am not 'illegal.' No person is.

I couldn't swear that I believed in the law - or in the American legal system.

I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.

I do not support amnesty. I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

I would feel horrible to think I had put my name on a pistol permit and allowed someone to carry around a gun and they committed another crime.

I went out with some old friends and we were having fun. A couple of them were very intoxicated. When I went to leave, I refused to let them drive. So when I got pulled over, I was the driver.
