Illegal immigration is wrecking havoc; no amnesty
Over the past decade, unchecked illegal immigration has allowed over 12 million illegal immigrants to stream into our country. Illegal immigration is wrecking havoc on our economic, legal, and national security interests. As a nation of immigrants,
we must continue to welcome legal immigrants who wish to live and work in our nation. At the same time we must secure our borders and refuse to grant amnesty to those who violate our laws.

Rated A- by the ALI, indicating a strongly anti-amnesty stance.
Jenkins scores A- 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.
