Jim Rubens in Syrian Refugee Crisis

On Immigration: Halt immigration of Syrian refugees; reduce all immigration

As Senator, I will advance immigration reform policies that maintain and defend our borders, keep Americans safe from crime and domestic terrorism, and improve economic prospects for American citizens and American workers. If voter outrage had not killed it in the House, Gang of 8 would have granted President Obama blanket authority to admit refugees, including Syrian refugees, without requiring any background checks.

Halt refugee immigration from countries known to harbor terrorism and where refugees cannot be documented as peaceful.
Reduce total immigration from the present 1 million per year so that all immigrants are welcomed, assimilate into American culture, accept the American system of law and government, and do not take jobs from Americans.
