Debbie Dingell: Fair and humane comprehensive immigration reform

Paul Mitchell: Serious & measurable steps to finally secure southern border

• We must improve our border control and protection systems to address risks from travel to and from other countries.
• We must secure our border, and I will not support any reform to our system of immigration unless serious and measurable steps are taken to finally secure our borders.
• We are a nation of laws and I will oppose any bill that gives a special path to citizenship for those who have entered our nation illegally.
• I will be a forceful advocate for security that recognizes our Northern border faces a different set of threats than our southern border.
• I will support efforts that help our intelligence and law enforcement agencies identify and track down terrorists before they strike while also protecting citizens' Constitutional rights.
• Develop guest worker and e-verify programs that allow our nation's farmers to meet their labor needs while at the same time defending our borders.
