Carolina QuotesWe won’t even know if they've done anything, and so, they'll be dropped wherever the federal government wants to drop them, and they'll disappear into our society. We'll never know, until something bad happens, if we have a terrorist.

It's frustrating because they should first help the people on the border who are citizens the United States and who are suffering, who are at greater risk of having harm done to their property or harm done to them or to their families. It seems like if you cared about the American people, you would address that problem first, before you spend billions of dollars on Central American countries.
I've seen enough of the Biden administration. Whether we're looking at Afghanistan or the border or what's going on with inflation, I don't have confidence in his ability to do the simplest of things.

We don’t want to be Venezuela. We don't want to be another country where people don’t trust the elections, where there's really no reason to go vote if you don’t know if the integrity of the elections is good. And I think in these states where you have all these mail-in ballots, where you don't have a photo ID and you don't know for sure who’s voting, and on top of that, you don't even verify signatures. You've got a real problem having any credibility in your elections and that harms democracy.
