John Cornyn Country Quotations

I think the president does have an opportunity now after admittedly a very bad week to turn things around and to show why the people of this country re-elected him just one short year ago,

What worries me more than anything else is this mind-set that once people go to Mexico there's nothing law enforcement in this country can do.

If we can make Washington more like Texas, the whole country will be a winner.

There is no doubt where the founding fathers stood on this issue. They believed that people of faith should be permitted to express themselves in public. They believed that this country was big enough and free enough to allow expression of on enormous variety of views and beliefs.

This country has gotten seriously off track under the Supreme Court when it went so far as to limit the right of even private citizens to freely express their religious views in public.

But last year there were 540,000 people, roughly, detained coming across the border illegally. Forty-five thousand of them came from countries other than Mexico, demonstrating the fact that Mexico itself now is a pathway into the United States for people all around the world, and we don't know what their intentions are

I think (a border fence) is futile because I don't think you can build a wall high enough or wide enough to keep people out of the country who have no hope or opportunity where they live,

It is clear to me that Judge Roberts' history has prepared him well for the honor of serving this country by leading our nation's highest court, and I strongly support his nomination.
