If [President Obama] does not go on the offensive against ISIS...they are coming here. This is just not about Baghdad, this is just not about Syria, this is about our homeland.

When it comes to immigration reform, now is the time ... I've never seen a better political environment ... I'm not doing immigration reform to solve the Republican Party's political problem. I'm trying to save our nation from, I think, a shortage of labor and a catastrophic broken system.Collection: Party
We don't have enough American troops inside of Iraq to destroy ISIL any time soon.Collection: Iraq
I am confident - very confident - that if I help solve this problem in a way that we won't have 20 million illegal immigrants 20 years from now, not only will I get re-elected, I can look back and say I was involved in something that was important.Collection: Years

The ultimate check against government tyranny is an informed electorate who will elect people who believe in limited government.

That's a good place to start.Collection: Country
