Issue Position: Immigration

Issue Position

Securing our nation begins by protecting our borders and the sanctity of U.S. citizenship. The immigration system just does not work. Those who made it across the border illegally are protected in sanctuary cities and unfairly given advantages over those trying to enter the country legally.

My belief about effective immigration policy is three parts:

1. Build a wall.
-Building a wall along our southern border will aide in enforcement of the law, and will send a message that America is serious about the immigration problem.
2. Enforce the law.
-Our country has laws in place that govern immigration. Immigrants who are in the United States illegally are not "undocumented"; they are illegal and should face the consequences of breaking the law--deportation.
3. Design a system that works.
-We have to do better when it comes to temporary visa and guest worker programs. We need a system that allows those who wish to enter this great country legally and pursue The American Dream a chance to do so without watching illegal immigrants be rewarded for breaking the law while hopeful, law-abiding immigrants wait their turn in line.
