Madam Speaker, it is time to halt illegal entry into this country. It is time to halt the flow of illegal drugs and weapons into this great Nation, and it is time to secure our borders.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We must curtail the flow of illegal immigrants across the Mexican border.
These are our borders, and we have to secure our borders.
I'm on record saying nothing about immigration until we secure the borders. The borders are not secure.
The fact of the matter is, is that we need our borders secured. Certainly, we realize that there's going to have to be some kind of immigration reform, but I don't believe any of that's going to move forward until our border is secured.
These are busy times for the Border Patrol, the customs agents, immigration folks; but if we are going to send these agencies to fight a war on drugs, to fight a war against illegal behavior, we have to send them the proper tools.
Border security is a complex issue and will remain a top priority during the 2007 legislative year. As Congress works to fix this problem, I will continue to push for strong measures that beef up security at our borders.
We have got to secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws.
We can't get serious about immigration reform until we stop people from crossing the border illegally.
If I am elected president we will secure the border and we will end the illegal immigration.
We will never stop illegal immigration until this country has a comprehensive, realistic immigration policy.
