Anyone who sincerely wanted to use policy to reduce illegal immigration should start by crafting legislation based on changing actual behavior.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dealing with immigration should originate in Congress. The president should not act unilaterally.
People's lives have to change as a result of this legislation.
Next, we will create a modern immigration law.
My goal for reform is not necessarily to pass laws but to make sure the laws are being followed.
We want to do this methodically, smart, starting with border security then looking at immigration reform measures.
Immigration should be enforced in a proportional and humane manner.
Rather than waiting for future trials to determine rules that will impact every citizen, Congress should step in and write a law that takes every American's rights into consideration.
It certainly makes no sense to enact more laws if we cannot, or do not, enforce the ones we have.
If we are to believe that our immigration laws simply have no value, as our current policies would have us believe, should we then simply throw them all out, the entire lot of immigration law? I hope not.
The Constitution of the United States... specifically states the Congress shall write legislation for immigration policy in the United States.
