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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.
It's clear that we need comprehensive immigration reform.
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.
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.
I fully recognize we need to improve the path to citizenship, just as we need to value the hard work of folks who become American citizens legally.
I think what we need to do is to have an immigration system where legal immigration is easier.
There is no quick fix for illegal immigration. But only when we achieve better control of our borders and better respect for our immigration laws can we give meaning to the discussion we need to have over reforming the numbers, categories, and procedures for legal immigration into the United States.
Immigration reform is a must, an amnesty. So that's my position. I've been pushing that one since before it was popular.
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.
Our immigration system is not broken. We don't need, and Congress shouldn't enact, amnesty.
