“I oppose amnesty, I oppose citizenship, I oppose legalization for illegal aliens. I always have and I always will.”

In the 13 months I’ve been in the Senate, it has become apparent to me the single thing that Republican politicians hate and fear the most, and that is when they’re forced to tell the truth. It makes their heads explode.

My touchstone for every question is the Constitution.

Well, guess what, I’m Cuban! And no self-respecting Cuban man of the era would let his wife work.

ISIS and Iran have declared war on America, and we need a commander in chief who will do everything necessary to keep our children safe.

Social justice is group psychology, it’s group rights, it’s collectivisim, and it’s a negation of individual responsibility, which is what the Bible teaches. Individual responsibility. And of course, social justice leads very quickly to socialism, and ultimately to communism.

I’ve spent the past month in Washington D.C. and it is terrific to be back in America.

Donald [Trump]. I understand rules are very hard for you. They’re very confusing.

We deserve leaders who stand for principal, who unite us all behind shared values, who cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect from everybody.

I don’t think we should be engaged in nation-building. It’s not our job to turn foreign nations into democratic utopias, to try to turn Iraq into Switzerland. It is the military’s job to hunt down and kill our enemies, to kill ISIS before they murder American citizens and they wage jihad.

Social justice is collectivism. Social justice is the rights of a group. It denies individual responsibility. It’s a negation of individual responsibility, so social justice is totally contrary to the Word of God.

I think the first and principle objective is to repeal Obamacare before it does lasting, fundamental damage to our health care system, to our individual liberty, to the relationship each of us has with his or her doctor.

I’m an optimist at heart.

If as a voter you think what we need is more Republicans in Washington to cut a deal with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, then I guess Donald Trump`s your guy.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.
