We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We want to do this methodically, smart, starting with border security then looking at immigration reform measures.
It's clear that we need comprehensive immigration reform.
Going forward, as we work to strengthen our border in the interests of homeland security, we must also recognize the economic importance of immigration reform.
We can't get serious about immigration reform until we stop people from crossing the border illegally.
It is vitally important that we implement immigration reform. We need a bill that strengthens our borders and protects this nation, but that also makes it simpler for good people to become Americans.
Should we attempt border security first, which I believe we should, we still need to face the fact that comprehensive reform is necessary. This must include a guest worker program and dealing with the 11 million people who are here today that are contributing to our economy.
It's a significant contribution if we can get immigration reform done.
I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.
The fact of the matter is, is that we need our borders secured. Certainly, we realize that there's going to have to be some kind of immigration reform, but I don't believe any of that's going to move forward until our border is secured.
We have got to secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws.
