Although it requires some adjustment by those already here, immigration has made the U.S.A. the most prosperous nation on Earth.

Immigration isn't always good for the economy or jobs.

Besides taking jobs from American workers, illegal immigration creates huge economic burdens on our health care system, our education system, our criminal justice system, our environment, our infrastructure and our public safety.

As legal residents, immigrants would contribute more in taxes, spend more at our businesses, start companies of their own and create more jobs. Immigration is not a problem for us to solve but an opportunity for America to seize.

People are frustrated. This is the most generous country in the world when it comes to immigration. There are a million people a year who legally immigrate to the United States, and people feel like we're being taken advantage of. We feel like despite our generosity, we're being taken advantage of.

Immigration is the ultimate entrepreneurship.

Immigration is as much about the American experience and the values we share, and a lot more about economics than it is about politics.

Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people.

I don't think it's good for economy to have a broken immigration system.

Immigration comes up, but the issue that is on everybody's mind is the economy.
