I do not support amnesty
I do not support amnesty. Border security is crucial to solving the immigration problem and is a serious national security concern. I support more border agents, increased funding for surveillance and fencing that will prevent immigrants from illegally
entering our country. I also support enforcing employment law which this administration has failed to do. For too long, this Congress has talked about immigration & failed to pass comprehensive immigration reform. That’s why we need change in Washington.

Rated B by the ALI, indicating an acceptably anti-amnesty stance.
Donnelly scores B 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.
