It’s a totally different world we live in today compared to when I was advocating, people were stable, hard-working and were Americans first and Hispanics second.

I was introduced as the head of the program and I met President Nixon for the first time, he said, ‘Well, I’ve announced this program and you’ve been selected to head it up and I’m serious about bringing in more Hispanics to the federal government. They must be qualified.’.

I report in the morning only to be ushered over to the south lawn where Nixon was departing and I saw him board the Air Force One helicopter, i had been following the news and knew his departure was imminent. I felt really bad about it, just as a human being, because he got embroiled in Watergate and the cover-up.

He probably should never have done what he did, i think [Reagan] was dreaming. There was no enforcement. Then you have Obama coming in with protecting them instead of stopping them at the border. ... He has turned out to be a real sad state of affairs.
