mcdonalds people clerks
The young people when I go to McDonald's, the Hispanic clerks will come by, 'Sheriff, can we have a picture?' over and over again. At least they want a picture with me.
thinking world may
I'm a very private person, regardless of what the world may think of me.
thinking immigration problem
I think [ immigration] is still is a problem, whether it's 11 million or 2 million. Why is it - why have the situation decreased? Are we going to say because of the crackdown or are we going to say that the jobs are not here?
nice guy nice-guy
I just talk, and I say what I feel, and yet, I'm a nice guy.
believe hated okay
If I'm hated, okay. I don't believe that.
running people risk
I take risks, if you want to call it a risk. All the people running for president, last time, you know, they all came to visit me or meet me. They all wanted my endorsement and I endorsed [Rick] Perry at that time. He wasn't that well-liked either, but you have to do what you have to do.
risk look-at-me taking-risks
I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.
country believe people
In the old days when I was enforcing illegal immigration laws, when I had the authority from the 287G, everybody accused me that 100,000 people from foreign countries left town. They either went back to where they came from or whatever. So if this little old sheriff can cause, if you want to believe it, many, many people leaving and going back to their country, why can't you do that nationwide?
aliens crime
If you come across illegal aliens committing crimes, other crimes, you deport them.
problem making-money
I just came back from - with Trump when I endorsed him in Iowa, in Marshalltown, a little town - 27,000 - have a lot of Hispanics working there from Mexico in a private business, so they're still here. I'm not saying they're here illegally but they still come and they work, make money for their families, send the money back to Mexico or whatever, so it's a big problem.
giving immigration
You know why you have to give [Donald] Trump credit, whether you don't like him or not? He opened the door.Now there's a lot of talk about immigration. That's good. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
thinking
If they [mexicans] cross the border, I think, and they are violating the law, then that word criminal does connect with that violation, so if they're violating the law, I guess you can call them criminals. We call everybody else criminals that violate the law.
study
All the studies say that immigrants are less likely to be criminals in the United States. That's what they say. The sources are there.
smart government deals
You make deals in business and in government if you're smart.
