We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee, learn English, and learn about American history and government.

At times in the past, the U.S. did not restrict the number of immigrants.

We have an immigration system in this country that not only doesn't work, in many cases it doesn't even make any sense.

While this country has always had a generous immigration policy, we simply cannot condone individuals coming here illegally.

We should embrace our immigrant roots and recognize that newcomers to our land are not part of the problem, they are part of the solution.

Hopping the fence or wading the Rio Grande River isn't part of America's immigration process.

While I support immigration regulated through a legal framework, I do not support rewarding those who broke the law to get here.

The American people are not anti-immigrant. We are concerned about the lack of coherence in our immigration policy and enforcement.

I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

Illegality will never solve the problem of political lawlessness.
