The Wall Street Journal: on Immigration


James Webb: Allow illegal immigrants a path to citizenship

Webb says, "I drifted away from the Democratic Party on national security issues but I never left on social issues and issues of economic fairness." His platform is built around three priorities: national defense; curbing presidential overreach; and economic fairness and social justice. He believes trade agreements should require other nations to improve labor standards and wages. He supports raising the minimum wage, and allowing illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
