We cannot continue to allow immigrants to come here illegally. And in this age of terrorism, we must not let in refugees whose intentions cannot be determined.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While this country has always had a generous immigration policy, we simply cannot condone individuals coming here illegally.
We must curtail the flow of illegal immigrants across the Mexican border.
If terrorists aren't limited by borders and boundaries, we can't be, either.
If you have a solution to immigration, it is possible to come home and defend it.
First of all, we haven't always welcomed immigrants.
In my view, our immigration policy means that we have some people who can come into this country - who we might want to say no to - and others, who we might want to attract, who can't currently come in.
America has a long and proud history of providing safe harbor for refugees. We must continue to do so, but in a way that keeps America safe.
We don't need to bring 100,000 refugees in from the Middle East.
I'm not saying we need to stop immigration at all; people can come from wherever.
We will never stop illegal immigration until this country has a comprehensive, realistic immigration policy.
