Herman Cain on Immigration

Not right to sue Arizona for trying to protect themselves

• Guiding principle #1: Do the right thing. It was not right to sue the state of Arizona when they were simply trying to protect themselves. You will always be able to count on Herman Cain to do what is right.
• Guiding principle #2: We have got to lead this nation from an entitlement society to an empowerment society, by getting government out of the way. We've got to empower states to do what states do best: to solve the people's problems at the state level. Empowerment, not entitlement
• Guiding principle #3: It's not about us. We have to defend the life of the unborn. We must defend those principles that this nation was founded upon.

Secure our borders; enforce our laws

Americans do resent, however, the willingness of some to circumvent our laws and enter our nation illegally. While many, if not most, illegal immigrants are peaceful people simply seeking to provide for their families, some are not. In fact, some are quite dangerous, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of American citizens.

Illegal immigration also puts a tremendous strain on America's entitlement and health care systems. In fact, several hospitals in the U.S. have declared bankruptcy as a result of the costs of caring for illegal immigrants.

We must secure our borders, enforce our laws and promote the existing path to citizenship.ÿ

Where's the fence? Not in the Immigration Bill!

The Immigration Bill was supposed to be good compromise legislation. It is just bad legislation with different agendas glued together, while not emphasizing enough of the public's number one priority - the fence! Not just wire, wood and concrete, but all the technologies we have available to stop the rampant inflow of illegal aliens into this country.
