Issue Position

The flow of illegal immigration into the United States remains a drain on our nation's resources and a glaring hole in our national security.We must protect our borders by building a fence and supporting borders states who seek to send troops to the areas of entry, but most importantly, we must also reduce or eliminate entirely the incentive to enter our country illegally.

Eliminating that incentive means strictly enforcing the rules we have in place. Illegal immigrants are not entitled to government benefits paid for by law abiding taxpayers. They are not entitled to social benefits, drivers licenses, healthcare or education. A clear prohibition of these benefits for illegal immigrants will help eliminate the incentive to break into the country in the first place. We must also actively pursue and punish those who employ illegal immigrants. Those who enter the country illegally are breaking the law and should not be granted amnesty or a pardon.
