Mike Pence in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2019
On Foreign Policy:
No nukes for Iran; support Iranians but not government
Iran has announced they're going to exceed the uranium enrichment limits within the Iran nuclear deal, one of the worst deals this country had ever entered into. The President's decision to refrain from a military strike when he learned it could cost
150 Iranian lives sends a message. It's time for Iran to recognize that America will never allow them to obtain a nuclear weapon. That would be a threat to our country, a threat to our cherished ally, Israel, and a threat to the world.

On Foreign Policy:
We stand with the Iranian people against the Ayatollahs
Since the Green Revolution in 2009, the United States has made it clear that we are with the Iranian people. While we stand firmly against the Ayatollahs we have the highest hopes for the Iranian people. But it's time for Iran to recognize that the
United States of America will never allow them to obtain a nuclear weapon. Those days must come to an end, and America is going to continue to stand, resolved, with the people of Iran for a better future for them.

On Immigration:
Conditions at borders is fault of Democrats in Congress
When the President declared a national emergency, we were asking Congress to give us more bed space. Democrats in Congress refused. We've asked for more bed space we've asked for more support. The system is overwhelmed.
We're doing a lot with what the Congress has given us. They continue to delay efforts on additional humanitarian support.

On Immigration:
Asked for humanitarian help, Congress continues to delay
Q: Some of the conditions at the border have been described as "crisis level" in the facilities that the United States is running. Is that acceptable?PENCE: It's totally unacceptable.
Customs and Border Patrol agents are being overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of people coming across our border to take advantage of loopholes in our laws.
We've asked for more bed space; we've asked for more support. We're doing a lot with what the Congress has given us.
Congress refused to increase the bed space in the last appropriations bill. They continue to delay efforts on additional humanitarian support.
