Tom Del Beccaro on Immigration

Immigration is a national security issue; ports are a danger

1. National Security: Immigration should now be viewed as the national security issue it has become. We can build a consensus on immigration by putting the interests of the entire country first.
2. Comprehensive Legislation Won't Work: 2,500 page bills are unlikely to pass and have proven to be a Pandora's box of bad provisions and policy. Therefore, Tom believes we need to take a piecemeal approach to solving the crisis.
3. Immediate Visa Reform. Up to half of those here illegally have overstayed their visas. We can reduce racial tension in this country by acknowledging that fact instead of implying all illegal immigration is from a single country.
4. All Ports of Entry. We must understand that all of our ports of entry represent a danger. Therefore, we need to bring added resources to protect all of them not some of them.

"If you break the law, that means you've broken the law," Del Beccaro said, taking issue with the question about Harris.

"My focus is more about how to bring people to the table," he added. "I am not running so I can say, `Some people are wrong and some people are right.' I am going to be very specific in this campaign about solutions as opposed to just politics and yelling back and forth."
