Issue Position: A Flawed Immigration System

Issue Position

We must secure America's borders. And once the borders are secured, Congress must deal with the challenges created by millions of undocumented immigrants living and working among us. Eleven million people living in the shadows is not good for anyone.

We are a nation of immigrants. Each and every one of us has a story of how our families came to America. But over the last two decades, the federal government's lack of enforcement of our immigration laws has produced a crisis for this nation.

We must secure America's borders and enforce our current laws on the books. Every nation's back bone is its rule of law.

And once the borders are secured, Congress must deal with the challenges created by millions of these individuals living among us. If nothing is done to adequately address this problem, the 11 million will grow to 15 or 20 million in just a few short years. These challenges must be addressed.

I do not support amnesty.

This is a crisis. It will not be solved easily, but I believe that we can find a workable solution.
