“What was the difference between us that allowed me to attain so much in a short time? America. America was the difference. I had been born a citizen of the greatest nation in all of human history.”

We need to have a regulatory budget in America that limits the amount of regulations on our economy. We need to repeal and replace Obamacare and we need to improve higher education so that people can have access to the skills they need for 21st century jobs.

The most important thing of all is my parents were able to leave all four of their children better off than themselves. That story has a name, it’s called the American dream.

Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent’s sacrifices, and to the United States of America.

Every single one of us is the descendant of a go-getter. Of dreamers and of believers.

Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer.

My Dad used to tell us: ‘En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos’ ‘In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could.’

Any time you can degrade or take away the top leadership of an organization, it’s a positive step forward.

Donald Trump is not a Republican. Donald Trump is not a conservative. Donald Trump is trying to pull off the biggest scam in American political history, basically a con job, where he’s trying to take over the Republican Party by telling people he’s someone who he is not.

We’re special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else, come true here. That’s not just my story. That’s your story. That’s our story.

I’ll support Donald [Trump] if he’s the Republican nominee.

Let me just say the rules are what they are in the Republican Party. You have to have X-number of delegates in order to be the nominee. And if you don’t have those number of delegates, then there’s a process in place.Here is what would be a calamity, for Donald Trump to become our nominee.

The vast majority of the American people are hard-working taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in the community.

I’m not going to change who I am. I’m not going to change why I’m running… I’m running for president [in 2016], and I’m running because we can’t afford another four years like the last eight years.

When I’m president of the United States, we’re going to have a VA that cares more about our veterans than about the bureaucrats who work at the VA.

I am but a generation removed from poverty and despair. Where would I be today if there had never been an America?
