Issue Position: Immigration

Issue Position

It is high time that Congress does something to address the problem of immigration. Congressional deadlock and partisan bickering in Washington have prevented anything from being done. It is time to put differences aside and work towards a solution that encompasses the following points:

Secure Our Borders. Bruce believes that it is high time to secure our international borders--it's a matter of national security. More needs to be invested in beefing up security along our borders.

Enforce the Law, Hold Corporations Accountable for Hiring Undocumented Workers. Bruce believes that it's time to get tough when enforcing our immigration laws. Immigration law enforcement is currently too lax: in 2004, only three companies out of 5.5 million in the US were penalized for employing undocumented workers. To stop illegal immigration, we must stop allowing corporations to skirt minimum wage and safety laws by employing undocumented workers.

No Amnesty. Bruce believes that undocumented workers should not be granted amnesty. Tough, punitive fines need to be assessed to immigrants to reflect the fact that they are in the country illegally.
