I love people that come from another country. I love talking to them.

This is the sheriff you’re talking about, with a gun and badge that enforces the law. Nothing is going to stop me from cracking down on illegal immigration as long as the laws are there.

Maybe today you could have shot anybody and get away with it. So there's many times, I could have killed people. Legally, I could have killed many people, especially working undercover.

I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.

If you come across illegal aliens committing crimes, other crimes, you deport them.

I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.

Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.

We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.

I don't use e-mail or u-mail or whatever it's called.

Some people call me a publicity hound.

I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.

A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who has never owned a car.

Beauty is excrescence, superabundance, random ebulience, and sheer delightful waste to be enjoyed in its own right.

And falling's just another way to fly.

I do not sleep, but it's totally fine, because I love what I do.

I hate Sunday, I can't wait for Monday so I can go back to work again.

Those who love to be feared, fear to be loved. Some fear them, but they fear everyone.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not the legs that go first; it's remembering the word for legs.

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.

This is a time to unify, this is a time to heal.

to live means to lack something at every moment
