Quote

I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.

But they need to understand that I enforce the laws. I want to listen to them and hear their problems. I want them to tell me what their problems are.
