You get an opportunity to do something for your country, you better get out and do it.

We must make clear that if you come here illegally, you will be sent back home.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

While this country has always had a generous immigration policy, we simply cannot condone individuals coming here illegally.

Countries around the world have their own immigration laws and methods of dealing with a recurring theme: desperate people searching for peace from volatile parts of the world. And nations everywhere thrive and prosper from the contributions of immigrants and the children of immigrants - including right here in the U.S.

How can a man be said to have a country when he has not right of a square inch of it.

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?

I'm not saying we need to stop immigration at all; people can come from wherever.

A nation without borders is like a house without walls - it collapses. And that is what is going to happen to our wonderful America.

Migrants don't come to the United States because, as Ambassador Aponte argued in her press conference, of 'lies' told by smugglers that, once here, you can't get deported. They come because their countries have been destroyed by U.S. policy.
