Jim Rubens on Immigration

Halt immigration of Syrian refugees; reduce all immigration

Here's where I stand:
• Halt refugee immigration from countries known to harbor terrorism and where refugees cannot be documented as peaceful.
• Reduce total immigration from the present 1 million per year so that all immigrants are welcomed, assimilate into American culture, accept the American system of law and government, and do not take jobs from Americans.

No amnesty; no birthright citizenship; no sanctuary cities

Here's where I stand:
• No amnesty, work permits, or path to citizenship for those who entered our country illegally.
• Build the wall along the Mexican border and defend our borders.
• Deport all illegal aliens who have committed a felony.
• Oppose Kelly Ayotte's I-squared bill which would triple H-1B visas and replace more good-paying American jobs with foreigners. Grant foreign worker permits only when Americans cannot be found to do specific jobs, not to drive down wages for Americans. Foreign workers should return to their home countries each year when their permits expire.
• Fully fund the US-Visit system approved by Congress in 1996 which would log entry and exit at our borders of all non-US citizens.
• Oppose birthright citizenship. Stop giving automatic citizenship at birth to children if both parents are illegal aliens or visitors. The US and Canada are the only two economically-advanced nations to permit this.
• Oppose sanctuary cities.

No comprehensive immigration reform
