Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:
I will enforce a secure border & expand LEGAL immigration
Kennedy promised to enforce immigration laws and strengthen border security after an illegal immigrant allegedly killed five people in Texas. "Francisco Oropeza Perez-Torres has been arrested for the murder of 5 people," Kennedy wrote. "It is not
anti-immigrant bigotry to demand an immigration system that keeps out criminals. In fact, letting them in stokes bigotry. As President, I will enforce a secure border, and I will expand the kind of LEGAL immigration that made our country great."

Treat immigrants with same dignity as any other human being
Q: OK, now, how do you concretely treat immigrants with respect as they make their entree into the United States, into the American empire?A: That's a matter of a step-by-step process of making sure that you have some connection with the
leaders of the various countries where these folk are coming from. And at the same time, you let your folk know that they will not be in any way treated with less dignity than any other human being.

Nikki Haley:
Nobody should be playing politics with the border
Q: Trump, as you know, is pushing Republican senators to oppose the deal, in part because he wants to run on the issue in 2024 in this election year. HALEY: Well, I think nobody should be playing politics with the border. First of all, he shouldn't
be getting involved telling Republicans that wait until the election because we don't want this to help Biden win. We can't wait one more day. You have millions of people who have come to that border. They are not being vetted.

Kamala Harris:
Our border agents need help & 1,500 more agents
KAMALA HARRIS: The bill is and would have been the strongest border security bill in years. It would have put 1,500 more border agents at the border. I've been down to the border. Those border agents are working around the clock. They need help.
They need support. And this bill would have done that. In fact, the border patrol agents have supported the bill. It would have stemmed the flow of fentanyl. It would have done work to allow us to go after transnational criminal organizations.

Kamala Harris:
I'll work with Congress to pass immigration reform
When I am president, we will quickly remove those who arrive here unlawfully, prosecute the cartels, and give border patrol the support they so desperately need.
At the same time, we must acknowledge we are a nation of immigrants and I'll work with Congress to pass immigration reform including an earned path to citizenship for hardworking immigrants like farm workers and our dreamers.
