Issue Position: Immigration

Issue Position

California and this country are shaped by our immigrants and we should welcome those into our country who want to come legally, become productive members of our society and contribute. However, the border and immigration policies that are in practice today are out of control and are contributing to many societal problems such as overcrowded roads and schools, crime and a strain on our social welfare system. While we should welcome legal immigration, illegal immigration must be brought under control and pressure must be brought on the federal government to enforce our border laws. Now more than ever clear, sensible, and compassionate policies are needed to enforce the laws on our books and maintain our State and Nation as a welcome home to those who wish to become American citizens.
