Joe Sestak in 2020 Vice Presidential prospects

On Immigration: Illegal immigrants should pay fine; get to back of the line

We just need to get them in line, the back of the line, fingerprinted, paying a fine, because every study from the Congressional Budget Office and the Congressional Research Office has showed they are really--when they can pay the taxes up-front--they are really going to help our economy a lot more.

On Immigration: Immigration "of all types" helps our economy

Legalization of the status of "undocumented" immigrants will "help" America's economy, said Sestak. "I believe we must protect our borders, but I also believe we must protect our economy. Since 1970, American women citizens' birth rate has been inadequate to replace those who we lose every year. If not for immigration of all types, we would have been in a population death spiral, not unlike Japan's. Now with the baby boomer generation retiring, our workforce would plummet without this."

On Immigration: Support economic development to stem tide of refugees

Sestak said, "They are fleeing drug cartels and violence and poor economies and other things," of migrant flows across the southern border. "The way we did it, for example, with the Marshall Plan in 1948, our military stopped Germany, but we fixed fascism by making sure there are some economic development there. We should be working with OAS to be down there and help development, because that is the primary cause of it and where it is all coming from."
