In the immigration debate, some things are constant. They never change. One is that opponents of immigration reform will use it as a wedge issue and will blame everything from unemployment to rising health care costs on immigrants.
Open borders would be clear access to this country without going through a legal immigration process, and that’s exactly what Mrs. Clinton is wanting us to do.
The fact of the matter is, is that we need our borders secured. Certainly, we realize that there’s going to have to be some kind of immigration reform, but I don’t believe any of that’s going to move forward until our border is secured.
Immigration is a federal issue. The failing of Washington to implement an immigration system that works for our families and our businesses – it’s Washington’s failure. For us locally in Colorado, it’s really important that all people here feel comfortable with their local law enforcement.
I appreciate that Marco Rubio has called for immigration reform but he goes back and forth on it a little bit.
If black lives mattered, I believe that policing and immigration enforcement would not be the devastating force that it is in our communities.
I am a beneficiary of the American people’s generosity, and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here.
I have dear friends of mine who represent real Republicans. Goldwater Republicans. Strong on defense. Tough on immigration. Fiscal conservatives.
I want immigration reform to come into fruition, and I want it to be comprehensive, and I want it to have a path to citizenship, and I want to be involved politically every day.
People tell me ridiculous things and then say they’re joking. Like, at the Dubai immigration, the officer told me that I’ve been banned from Dubai. I almost started crying which is when he said that he was joking!
The fact is Canadians understand that immigration, that people fleeing for their lives, that people wanting to build a better life for themselves and their kids is what created Canada, it’s what created North America.
The media tends to cover immigration issues through the frame of how it impacts everybody but actual citizens of the United States.
Every day, children who are U.S. citizens are separated from their families as a result of immigration policies that need fixing.
Unfortunately, we have to dial down low-skilled immigration. We have to recognize that there is more unemployment among the lesser-skilled workers than among the most-skilled workers.
We can’t have – we can’t have a patchwork of 50 states developing their own immigration policy. I understand the frustration of people in Arizona. They want the federal government to step up and deal with this problem once and for all, and that’s what we want to do.
Stopping illegal immigration would mean that wages would have to rise to a level where Americans would want the jobs currently taken by illegal aliens.
On immigration, the League and Five Star’s positions start from notable distances.
Immigration specifically was laid out in the Congress, giving the power of Congress to create a uniform system of naturalization.
Tightening up border and immigration controls go nowhere in addressing the underlying causes of terrorism in our society and in our world.
I believe in immigration. But I feel people think it would be better if there was an Australian-style points based system so we could actually get a good system.
If the American people or Congress agrees with the illegal-alien lobby that deportation is morally abhorrent, the immigration laws should be changed.
What I find most interesting about the U.S. is this idea of equality. That’s what I’m trying to do with immigration. If what the founding fathers said is true, that we are all equal, then let’s fight for that.
Issues like immigration, police brutality, and other onerous laws put in place by local and state governments are prime avenues for active clergy to work with their parishioners on the issues that affect their daily lives.
When I first arrived in the U.S. House of Representatives, I naively believed that it was primarily the Democrats who were committed to open borders. But I quickly learned the entire Republican establishment also supported a policy of immigration non-enforcement.
Obama wants to raise the issue of immigration reform so that he can demonize Republicans as anti-Hispanic. That’s why Obama ignores the broad support for an immigration plan that would provide border security once and for all and then deal with the illegal immigrants who live here.
The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow.
The Conservatives have their own racist demons to confront: from the immigration policy that brought us the Windrush scandal to appalling Islamophobia at every level of their party.
The most important obligation our government has is to protect American citizens, and for decades career politicians like Joe Donnelly in Washington have neglected their duty by failing to stop illegal immigration and the flow of drugs pouring across our weak border.
Part of the problem is there are people in Washington, D.C. in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not. It undermines legal immigration.
What is at risk are the lives of hard-working Salvadoran families. In fact, unchecked violence was one of the main drivers of immigration from this country to the United States.
There is a debate in Ukip as to how strong we should be on the immigration issue. I personally think we should own it.
Certainly in a world where terrorism is a daily reality in the news, it’s easy for people to be afraid. But the fact is that we laid out very clearly – and Canadians get – that it’s actually not a choice between either immigration or security: that of course they go together.
I am very supportive of Donald Trump’s call to temporarily suspend immigration from countries where terrorists influence and impact represents a threat to the United States.
I’m for immigration reform. I think the system’s horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.
Once you join the queue for the immigration line, pay attention to what the expeditor tells you. Have your papers ready. Don’t have your cell phone out. Take off your hat. Open your passport to the page with your photo and present it to the immigration officer already open.
To be concerned about immigration and the economy is not racist, but I do think there is a virus of racism that runs through Ukip.
I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to restore dignity and humanity to our immigration policies and to respectfully uphold America’s legacy as a nation of immigrants.
Environment, homelessness, infrastructure and immigration – I’m very focused on all four, which are critical to the success of Los Angeles.
We must pass immigration reform.
I’m in favor of immigration but we also need rules.
Surely everyone can agree that immigration should be controlled.
Imagine a libertarian president challenging Congress for meaningful immigration reform.
I think growing up in South Africa, and then moving to Canada, I’m just genuinely interested in the difference between the First World and the Third World, immigration, and how the new, globalized world is beginning to operate. All of those things run through my mind a lot.
Democrats believe in a New South because no matter your race, immigration status, income, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, we all have the same aspirations for high-quality education, jobs, neighborhoods, health care, and retirement.
A Conservative government will set immigration policy within a wider strategy that meets the changing demographic make-up of Britain, taking full account of its impact on our population and maximising the economic advantages while mitigating the costs and risks.
Our country deserves a party that isn’t afraid to say immigration is a good thing, or to say that Donald Trump is racist, or to admit that we have an economic system that is fundamentally broken for too many people and is breaking our planet too.
I’m against immigration.
I went through the immigration thing. But when I got to New York it wasn’t so tough for me. I went to school. I went to P.S. 57, then I went to the Lighthouse for the Blind on 59th St. I guess being blind is a great leveler.
Immigration has defined my entire life. My parents left Mozambique with nothing but their wits in search of a better life for their kids. They moved to England in the 1970s, saw the classism there, and left for America soon after.
Building new roads and bridges creates jobs. Growing our exports creates jobs. Reforming our outdated tax system and our broken immigration system creates jobs.
Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to the U.S. The immigration guys kick the star out of my stardom.
If you have a solution to immigration, it is possible to come home and defend it.
We have an immigration system in this country that not only doesn’t work, in many cases it doesn’t even make any sense.
