Amnesty is a big billboard, a flashing billboard, to the rest of the world that we don't really mean our immigration law.
The most powerful nation on earth should be able to pass a fair, effective immigration law that combines compassion with responsibility and does not injure hard working Americans who are taxed up to here.
If we are to believe that our immigration laws simply have no value, as our current policies would have us believe, should we then simply throw them all out, the entire lot of immigration law? I hope not.
Next, we will create a modern immigration law.
I supported Arizona's immigration law by joining in that lawsuit to defend it. Every day I have Texans on that border that are doing their job.
Border enforcement coupled with employer sanctions and threatening employers who hire immigration law violators is insufficient.
