We do have freedom of speech, but if you say the wrong word, it looks like it makes headlines. So everybody has to be very careful.
Not that I ever did anything wrong. I was just aggressive. That's the way I am in my life.
But believe me, there's a lot I'd like to say - but I don't think the time is right now.
I love people that come from another country. I love talking to them.
I don't throw people under the bus. When I stick by a guy - I may not agree with him all the time, but I sure don't throw him under the bus.
I don't have all these advisers, political advisers. I don't even talk to them because I'm not a slave to a campaign manager, and Trump isn't either.
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.
I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.
Let [Ted] Cruz - let the people go to the courts and see if he's here legitimately. I don't know. I'm not going to get into that.
It doesn't matter whether you're black, Hispanic, white. They're all in the same boat.
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?
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?
I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.
If I'm hated, okay. I don't believe that.
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.
There's a lot of other [than Donald Trump] people that say things you may call insulting, but no one seems to care about that.
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.
