Mike Pence People Quotations

And my Christianity, first and foremost, governed the way that I tried to deal with people.

I said after 2006 that Republicans didn't just lose our majority, we lost our way. I mean, our party walked away from the principles that men in our national governing majority first in 1980 and again in 1994, and the American people walked away from us.

We want to make it clear that Indiana's open for business. We want to make it clear that Hoosier hospitality is not a slogan, it's our way of life. It's the reason why people come here from around the world and they come back again and again. Because Hoosiers are the kindest, most generous, most decent people in the world.

What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly what I would like to see the President of the United States of America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran.

It is our sense that the American people want Congress to do something ... to pay for Katrina, and anything less than that will be a disappointment to millions of Americans.

I've had more than a few battles with a Republican president. ... I am not immune [to] disagreeing with people who otherwise I support.

Donald Trump understands the frustrations and the hopes of the American people.

What I'm OK with is protecting the American people. What I'm OK with is, when people have the intent to come to this country and take American lives, that we are prepared to do what's necessary to gain the information to protect the people of this country.

In fact, in Indiana we suspended the Syrian refugee program in the wake of the terrorist attack. We have no higher priority than the safety and security of the people of this country, and Donald Trump is right to articulate that view.

The choice couldn't be more clear for the American people. Donald Trump has been completely consistent in his positions.

Donald Trump wants to make it clear to the American people that, while Hillary Clinton is committed to open borders, and amnesty, and executive amnesty, and more of the same that has really harmed our economy, and, frankly, as he said, with regard to dangerous individuals in this country, has cost American lives. . . .

No path to citizenship. People that want to gain legal status, you heard Donald Trump say again and again, will have to leave the country.

I think Donald Trump will articulate what we do with the people [immigrants] who are here.

Donald Trump is more concerned about the American people, American citizens, people who are here legally, people that are struggling in this economy.

Nobody was talking about illegal immigration when Donald Trump entered this campaign. He was attacked from day one for putting the whole issue of the violence that is derived from certain individuals that come into this country illegally on the table. . . . He is hearing from all sides. But I promise you, he is a decisive leader. He will stand on the principles that have underpinned his commitment to end illegal immigration in this country. And that's what people will learn more about in the days ahead.

The American people expect the president of the United States to be prepared to support action to protect the people of this nation. And I know Donald Trump will.

Donald Trump is going to remain completely focused on American citizens and people who are here legally, and how we get this country working for people who play by the rules.

[Donald Trump] will stand on the principles that have underpinned his commitment to end illegal immigration in this country. And that's what people will learn more about in the days ahead.

An enormous number of people come to the USA legally and then simply overstay their visas because we make no effort to hold them accountable to that or uphold the law.

We will have a mechanism for dealing with people in this country that - you heard the word humanely again. It is going to be fair. It is going to be tough. But there will be no path to legalization, no path to citizenship unless people leave the country.

He was making a very serious point. Donald Trump has a way of talking to get people's attention, and it's drawn attention to a very important issue.There was a time when a Democrat president knew where the buck stopped in the White House. And the responsibility for the failed policies in the Middle East that created the environment where ISIS developed belongs to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the American people know that.

The American people know that we need - America needs - to be strong for the world to be safe and for the American people to be safe, and that will happen when Donald Trump becomes president of the United States.

Donald Trump has laid out a priority to remove criminal aliens, remove people who have overstayed their visas. And once we have accomplished all of that, which will strengthen our economy, strengthen the rule of law in this country and make our communities safer once the criminal aliens are out, then we'll deal with those that remain.

The American people aren't focused on the debates of the past. They're focused on their future. They're focused on the challenges that we're facing at home and abroad.

The reason the American people don't trust Hillary Clinton is they're looking at the pay to play politics she operated with the Clinton foundation through the private server.

The director of the FBI...said we can't know for certain who these people are coming from Syria.

Donald Trump has called for extreme vetting for people coming into this country so that we don't bring people into the United States who are hostile to our bill of rights freedoms, who are hostile to the American way of life, but I will say, Donald Trump and I are committed to suspending the Syrian refugee program and programs on immigration from areas of the world that have been compromised by terrorism.

There's a reason why people question the trustworthiness of Hillary Clinton. And that's because they're paying attention.

Donald Trump has built a business through hard times and through good times. He's brought an extraordinary business acumen, he's employed tens of thousands of people in America.

I think the best way that we can bring people together is through change in Washington, D.C.

We need to act and act now to get people out of harm's way.

All we're getting from the Democratic majority in Congress and from this White House is more bailouts, more spending, more planned stimulus, more deficits and debt, and the American people have had it.

Budgets are moral documents. Federal funding should reflect the priorities and the values of the majority of the American people.

When people take greater ownership of their own health care and are encouraged to do that in a health plan, their health gets better. They pursue more wellness opportunities.

People who have come to the USA legally, who stood in line, who played by the rules, in the Latino and the Hispanic community, just like every other American, long to have a president that says, "We are a nation of laws, and that we're going to uphold and enforce those laws."

The American people want to see our nation standing tall on the world stage again. They want to see us supporting our military, rebuilding our military, commanding the respect of the world, and they want to see the American economy off to the races again.

More than anything else, let me be clear - we need to be willing to fight for freedom, and free markets, and traditional moral values. That's what the American people want to see this movement and this party return to.

Let's put the safety and security of the American people first.

It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.

Donald Trump is going to speak the truth to the American people.

I occasionally got called the Rush Limbaugh of Indiana, but most people knew that my style was different.
