Bill Simon on Immigration

2004 former Republican Challenger CA Governor

Immigration system needs fundamental reform

Q: What about undocumented immigrants?

A: Immigration is what makes our country and our state great. But our immigration system is broken, and needs fundamental reform. I support President Bush's efforts to fix the system and look forward to working with him to achieve this goal. I am also committed to raising the quality of life in California for all our citizens.
