Appreciate Quotes
This border radio stuff has just come back roaring into fashion. People are more interested in the story now than when we first came out with the book 20 years ago. ... I also think that cable and the various media outlets have gotten so wacko that folks can understand more about the border radio characters and really appreciate them.

Affects Quotes
Although the U.S.-Mexico Border Counties Coalition was founded nearly a decade ago because of the high costs border counties bear to incarcerate criminal undocumented aliens and provide emergency medical care to undocumented immigrants, we want to take this opportunity to remind Congress, and the nation, that immigration is only one issue that affects the border.

America Quotes
America is the only developed nation that has a 2,000-mile border with a developing nation, and the government's refusal to control that border is why there are an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona and why the nation, sensibly insisting on first things first, resists 'comprehensive' immigration reform.

Bill Quotes
The bill before us today does nothing to solve the real problems of immigration. It's worse than nothing because it tries to fool the public. It pulls the wool over their eyes.

Bad Quotes
The Minutemen were offensive because they were kind of scary, but no one disagrees with border enforcement, really. It angered some people, but it angered activists.

You were no longer talking about policy, you were talking about who they are, that they are bad people.

Cadillac Quotes
In North Carolina, great care has been done to make sure that nothing has intruded on the vistas and if you just changed the car to a Cadillac Fleetwood, you easily could be back to the 1940s. But when I crossed the border into Virginia, I was dismayed to suddenly be looking into people's back yards and to see nondescript housing plopped here and there on the hillsides, which ended the motorway's magical vista.

Acquired Quotes
I remember how, back in the 1980s, the Scottish Flow Country became an object of bemused controversy as rich celebrities and businessmen from south of the border acquired great tracts of this vast wetland in the far north in order to plant non-native conifer plantations that attract hefty tax breaks.

Economy And Economics Quotes
Illegal immigration is bankrupting states along the border, but this is about more than economics -- we're placing our national security at risk. Drug lords and violent gangs like MS-13 are streaming into the U.S. from Mexico. Terrorists are also walking in unopposed; our southwestern border is littered with Arabic papers and Islamic prayer rugs.

Care Quotes
I hear regularly from schools, hospital administrators, law enforcement, government officials and a host of other citizens throughout the second district about the need to enhance border patrol and crack down on illegal immigration. The costs to our education, health care and criminal justice systems are overwhelming.
