David Davis on Immigration

Republican


Stop the flow of illegal immigrants

I believe in legal immigration. We have rules and regulations for those who want to come to America to experience the great American dream as my ancestors did. But those that seek to come to America should abide by the law. We must strengthen our borders and stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming to America.
