We must fix our broken immigration system. That means stopping illegal immigration. And it means welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion. Just like we have for centuries.

Illegal immigration presents a huge problem. That is why I decided to spend a week along the southern border to see firsthand how bad the problem is and, more importantly, what Congress can do to fix it.

Our immigration system is a broken system that needs to be fixed. We need reform that provides hardworking people of good character with a real path towards citizenship.

I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.

We can't get serious about immigration reform until we stop people from crossing the border illegally.

I think what we need to do is to have an immigration system where legal immigration is easier.

The real problem is clean up the bureaucracy that people have to deal with to become a citizen the right way. And we must truly secure the border. We can't leave it porous.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

It is vitally important that we implement immigration reform. We need a bill that strengthens our borders and protects this nation, but that also makes it simpler for good people to become Americans.

I am glad that our country is starting to have a serious conversation about how to repair our broken immigration system - it is long overdue.
