I challenge the Republican nominees and all Republicans to not just be the anti-illegal immigration party. That's not who we are and that's not who we should be we should be the pro-legal immigration party.

I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigration.

I am more than an immigration activist.

Everybody will say that they're not opposed to immigration; they're opposed to illegal immigration. That's what I'm saying.

I support legal immigration.

In the past, I have been an immigration reformer, not a restrictionist.

I have always been opposed to illegal changes of our Government or the overthrow of its institutions, whether by force or other illegal means. I have always believed in the democratic processes.

I didn't come into politics to have to deal with the issue of clandestine entry, illegal working, or an asylum system that allows a free run for right-wing bigots.
