Richard Mourdock on Immigration

No Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants

About the only time either candidate got testy was after Mourdock claimed Lugar voted to give Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants, an apparent reference to the DREAM Act, legislation that would have provided a route to citizenship to children of illegal immigrants.

"That is unfair," Lugar responded, denying he had cast such votes. Lugar did support the DREAM Act.

No amnesty for illegal immigrants; no DREAM Act

Dick Lugar has repeatedly voted for amnesty for illegal immigrants, and is a main sponsor of Obama's DREAM act 6 that will fast-track amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. At the same time, Lugar has opposed efforts to secure our borders.

Richard Mourdock opposes the DREAM act and any other legislation that would provide amnesty for illegal immigrants. Mourdock believes that we must act immediately to secure our borders and enforce the law.
