Let courts decide if illegally entering country is a felony
If a person enters your home without permission, have they entered illegally? And if they enter illegally, have they committed a crime? Whether that is a misdemeanor or a felony is up to the courts. The United States is my home country and is sovereign.
Therefore, entering outside of the laws of legal entrance into my Home country, has one violated a law? And if so, is that an illegal action? Whether civil or criminal again, that is up to the courts to make that decision.

For border wall, against "sanctuary status"
I stand with President Trump in expanding and fortifying the border wall. Immigrants are welcome that come into our nation legally.

Give Dreamers opportunity to become citizens, no Federal aid
I have a common-sense solution. Dreamers would have six months to register with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and declare their intention to become US citizens. They would then have six years to become citizens. During this time,
they would be required to undergo thorough background checks to verify they are eligible for citizenship. Once the Dreamer has registered with USCIS, they would not be eligible to receive any federal assistance.
