We need to know who's in the United States. We need to know everyone who's in the United States that comes in here from a foreign country. And we have to separate the ones who are dangerous from the ones who aren't. To accomplish that, we need a fence. We need a technological fence. We need a border patrol.

I was pretty successful before Sept. 11 and fully expected that when I left being mayor I would be very successful.

When I was mayor of New York, my views changed. I began as mayor of New York City thinking that I could reform the New York City school system.
