“I think we haven't had a real serious national debate in this country as to what this issue is about, ... And we're dealing with kind of general slogans and images, a great deal of fear and panic. But I think that the Democrats are very much at fault in not generating a genuine debate. And I think the administration has been disingenuous in its argumentation.”
Zbigniew Brzezinski
“Competitive debate builds confidence, improves academic achievement, and develops leadership skills. The Houston Urban Debate League is bringing competitive debate into more high schools across the city, and that is great news for our schools and for our community. With the HUDL leading the charge, Great Debaters will develop and thrive throughout Houston.”
Harvin Moore
“When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this stage, stimulates me. But once a decision has been made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.”
Colin Powell
“I think we've clearly been the catalyst that has sparked the national debate. That's been our goal, to bring national attention to the fact that the government has failed miserably to bring control to the southern border.”
Chris Simcox
“I think what we are going to lose out on is full and fair debate over the issues.”
Dan Kelly
“I think we've debated long enough, we need to secure our borders now. We need to ask the National Guard to get them involved. We need not to build walls, but we need to build some fences.”
Vern Buchanan
“This country is about, in my judgment, aggressive, open debate. There is an old saying: When everyone is thinking the same thing, no one is thinking very much.”
