Immigration
Our immigration system is broken. Securing our borders and stopping illegal immigration is a matter of national security.
We need immigration reform that provides no amnesty for those who have entered our country illegally. The president must work with Congress to promote immigration reform that fully secures the border, keeps our citizens safe, and protects the rights of legal immigrants while not unfairly rewarding those who came here unlawfully.
