I do not believe - and I know this is a horrible thing to say - but I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you, and he doesn’t love me.

I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that, and carry it out.

To those Members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill.

We live in a country that talks about being the home of the brave and the land of the free, and we have the highest incarceration rate in the world.
