QUOTES
06:26 "Many times I like to say that the border patrol agents and the men and women that are out there, putting their lives on the line each and every day, are pretty much the nation's largest humanitarian organization."
08:16 "The coyote wants to just make money and these people are naive as to the real dangers of it."
09:44 "I think realistically some of these kids are happy that they're at some point separated from some of these individuals that just, as parents, they don't take care of them in any way, shape, or form."
15:23 "It's pretty sick that it may take another tragedy for us to understand how great this country is and how we will preserve our way of life. And the way you do that is by having law and order."
18:24 "There's agents out there that have been in trouble and we haven't represented them because at the end of the day we are all law enforcement officers and, as I've always said, no one hates bad cops more than good cops."
