	Bruce Poliquin on Immigration

Legal immigration is good for America; illegal isn't

Support Legal, Not Illegal, Immigration: ACTION ITEMS:

Promote legal immigration; discourage illegal entry
Secure our borders
Ensure no unfair advantage for illegal immigrants
Welcome those with specific skills to grow our economy.

Legal immigration is good for America; illegal immigration is not. We should encourage individuals and families to enter our country legally, not the other way around. Our borders and ports should be fully secured to prevent further illegal entry. Then, we should reform our immigration system to control the number of new non-criminal immigrants who seek the blessings of American freedom and opportunity. The federal government should institute a system, backed by stiff penalties, to verify that employers only hire workers who are here legally.
