Brad Ellsworth on Immigration

Democrat

Tighten our borders & enforce the laws

We face a national crisis when it comes to illegal immigration. Part of it is our own making. When we capture illegals here in Vanderburgh County, INS tells us there’s no place to put them. That’s not right. It’s also not right when an Indiana employer passes over an American for a job only because an illegal worker is cheaper. We need to tighten our borders, enforce the laws we have, and punish employers who break them. This is about economic security as much as it is national security.
