Secure our borders; revamp guest worker program
We are a nation of immigrants. The debate and problems we have today are not about legal immigration, but illegal immigration. The debate is also a matter of national security. We must secure our borders. We are a nation of laws; therefore, we first need
to enforce our existing immigration laws. I will oppose efforts to provide amnesty for illegal aliens.Second, we need to revamp and reinstitute our "guest worker program" that offers temporary visas for seasonal workers.

Endorsed by the ALI, indicating a strongly anti-amnesty stance.
Koster is endorsed by by ALIPAC, Americans for Legal Immigration
ALIPAC supporters have a diverse range of opinions, yet we are united in the belief that more should be done to reduce illegal immigration. ALIPAC supports those that legally immigrate, but we DO NOT support any amnesty, visa expansion, or "Guest Worker" program designed to reward illegal aliens or legalize their presence in the US. We support a peaceful, non racist, rule of law approach to resolving illegal immigration. America is a land of generous and caring people, but our hospitality and values are being strained and abused by those who are willing to break the law and take our jobs and our tax dollars. America's illegal alien population will begin to shrink instead of grow if we support candidates that will reflect the will of the vast majority of American citizens.
FOUR POINT PLATFORM: "Simply enforce our existing immigration laws!" - Secure Our Borders
- Crack down on employers that intentionally hire illegals
- Remove incentives and rewards to illegals such as licenses, welfare, and other taxpayer benefits
- Enforce our existing laws and deport illegal aliens when convicted of crimes or detected during routine law enforcement activities.
