- "I am calling on the legislature to address the injustice in campaign finance law that inevitably leads to corruption" (twitter.com)
- "Last night, my opponent Barbara L'Italien pushed through in the eleventh hour, under cover of darkness, a backdoor amendment to the budget to make Massachusetts a sanctuary state. This action fundamentally undermines the rule of law. It will make the hard-working men and women of the Third District less safe by putting at risk critically-needed federal funding for law enforcement. Furthermore, this policy will have the effect of increasing illegal immigration and making Massachusetts a magnet for those seeking to hide from the law. This political maneuver to satisfy extreme elements of Sen. L'Italien's base is misguided and an affront to all those who have played by the rules as they seek to enter the country legally. I will always support the rule of law and therefore can never support sanctuary state or city policies in any form." (www.rickgreenforma.com)
- "In Congress, Rick will request to serve on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. Investing in infrastructure projects like the Route 2 Concord Rotary and the Rourke Bridge in Lowell will create jobs, eliminate traffic gridlock, spur economic development, and save lives."

- "My whole campaign is about building bridges, and make no mistake, when I am elected to Congress, I will make sure the Rourke Bridge project is completed â no excuses" (www.rickgreenforma.com)

- "Rick welcomes legal immigration as a positive force that has brought enterprising people to America from around the world, but he says no to illegal immigration because it undermines the rule of law. Sanctuary cities make the problem worse by increasing pressure on federal law enforcement and border control. Instead, we should fix the system to recruit and retain skilled workers and reward legal immigrants who play by the rules in their pursuit of the American Dream." (www.rickgreenforma.com)
- "@teambarbara, my support of legal immigration is not in question, it strengthens our country's economy and culture to the benefit of all. By supporting sanctuary policies for illegal immigration, you are eroding faith in the rule of law." (twitter.com)
