I have a great relationship with the Mexican people.

In Mexico, you have to defend yourself and your honour.

People who know Mexico know me because I'm so much a part of Mexico.

I have tried my whole life to represent my Mexican roots with honor and pride.

Any Mexican, would recognise that Mexico was abused, undervalued and downgraded in international circles, most of all by the United States.

Our relationship with Mexico in this regard is unique for us, and in many respects unique in the world.

What I miss most about Mexico isn't the food or the customs; it's my family and the way we'd all sit around chatting together.

I dare say that a majority of the American people think that having a fair hearing on an issue of importance in our relations with Mexico is extremely important to our national interest, as well as theirs.

I'm for whatever it takes to secure our border with Mexico.

There's something about my Mexican-American heritage... I'm proud of it.
