I do not love immigration. I think immigration has been harmful to the United States. I think it's brought more persons more dependent on the government into this country.

Immigration is a good thing. We should make that as easy as possible.

I'm an immigrant myself. It was a tough road to come to America and work.

The conventional wisdom is that people come to the United States, and immigration is so great, and they say, 'America, what a great country.' And a lot of that is true.

Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary.

We are indeed a nation of immigrants. People who choose to come to America have always been one of our greatest sources of national vitality. They keep our economy strong and our communities dynamic. They are some of our greatest patriots.

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

Everyone has an opinion when it comes to immigration - strong, intense opinions.

It is not easy to arrive in a different country and adapt quickly, but I think I'm getting there, and I'm proud of that.

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.
