On Immigration: No amnesty, but expand visas for temporary workers

Shays said the US should put up more fences and establish English as the official language. He said immigrants who are already here illegally should be given a "blue card" that allows them to work and pay taxes, but they should never be allowed to become citizens.

McMahon said the U.S. should do more to stop illegal immigration and should not offer amnesty to those already here, adding that the U.S. should expand its visa program to allow more temporary workers into the country from overseas.
