Issue Position: Illegal Immigration

Issue Position

Problem:

People from other nations are illegally crossing our borders, bringing their problems with them for our nation to deal with. Some are criminals who traffic in drugs, some are murderers and others are sexual predators.

"Sanctuary Cities" allow for the protection of illegal immigrants from being deported to their home country.

Action:

We must be able to control our borders so that we can have a method of offering legal immigration into our nation. I will propose that Congress establish an initial project fund of 10 Billion dollars in order to secure our southern border with Mexico.

I would also propose legislation and the financial resources necessary to return the hundreds of thousands of non-violent criminals, that we currently have incarcerated, to their home countries. We should keep the violent criminals incarcerated here in America.

In order to deal with the millions of illegal immigrants who are now living in our country, I do not favor mass deportation as being impractical. I also do no favor amnesty. It would be wrong to grant those people amnesty, considering the millions of immigrants who came to America legally and who have become legal citizens. I would support a policy that would grant these people the status as a guest worker, allowing them to come and go across our border and be monitored by an "E-verify" system.

I would also propose Congressional legislation to abolish "Sanctuary Cities."

My Democrat opponent will not support this legislative action.
