"I'm not against immigrants; I am for Texans," he says. "I want to improve our safety and security.
"It's elitist for people to say they don't want a wall. Show me anyone who doesn't have a back fence on their house."
"I don't care if a mayor is a Republican or a Democrat, they're full of crap when they say it hasn't made a big difference," he said.
"You don't need a wall from coast to coast but in residential areas like El Paso it has been very helpful at stopping illegal crossings."
"I love El Paso, and I don't want people all over the world thinking this was a dangerous city."
