We must curtail the flow of illegal immigrants across the Mexican border.

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

It's a significant contribution if we can get immigration reform done.

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.

You reduce illegal immigration by making it harder to get jobs here, or easier to get jobs south of the border. This idea that we can't pass an immigration law until we hit some imaginary security target is just a way to derail reform.

Next, we will create a modern immigration law.

We have got to secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws.

This type of mass influx is simply too much to handle. What we've had since the disaster of the 1965 Immigration Act will take 100 years or more to absorb.

Immigration is a good thing. We should make that as easy as possible.

We also need to strengthen the security of our borders and ports and strictly control immigration.
