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.

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.

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.

I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

We should embrace our immigrant roots and recognize that newcomers to our land are not part of the problem, they are part of the solution.

I think most Americans would agree that we need sensible solutions that fix our immigration system and deal humanely with aspiring citizens currently in our country. At the same time, these solutions must increase the security of our borders.

I think everybody could agree that our immigration system is broken. We have not told the truth about it.

We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country.
