Start reform with securing the border

A: Any conversation about immigration reform must start with securing the border. The first duty of government is national security, and that doesn't exist until we know who is coming into and out of the country. We must secure the border and enforce existing laws that govern our immigration policy. I fully support a policy of legal immigration that brings to our nation those that will enrich the fabric of our country while respecting the rule of law.

Next, Congress and the President must demonstrate a willingness to enforce all of the laws currently enacted to govern our immigration policy. This also includes implementing changes that create efficiencies and greater fiscal accountability. Finally, if additional changes are necessary, Congress and the President must enact immigration policies that are grounded in the rule of law, maintain the safety and security of our citizen and that benefit our economy.
