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

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

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

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.

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.

We want to do this methodically, smart, starting with border security then looking at immigration reform measures.

If this Nation really wants to create an effective border security policy, we need to have a debate that includes a discussion about actual solutions to our problems, which means taking all of the political grandstanding and baiting out of the equation.

I'm focusing on the issues that bring people together and build broad majorities.

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.
