Bruce Braley on Immigration

	Bruce Braley on Immigration Democrat

Supports comprehensive reform but not amnesty

Braley denied that the Senate immigration bill he supports includes amnesty. The Democrat blamed the border crisis in part on the House's failure to take up the bill that passed the Senate. He noted that Arizona Sen. John McCain and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio supported the measure because it forces people in the country illegally to admit wrongdoing, pay a fine and go to the back of the line. "Amnesty is when you break the law and there are no consequences," said Braley. Source: Politico.com e-zine on 2014 Iowa Senate debate , Sep 28, 2014

Secure our borders; enforce the law; no amnesty

It is high time that Congress puts differences aside and work towards a solution that encompasses the following points:

Secure Our Borders. It’s a matter of national security.
Enforce the Law, Hold Corporations Accountable for Hiring Undocumented Workers.

No Amnesty. Bruce believes that undocumented workers should not be granted amnesty. Tough, punitive fines need to be assessed to immigrants to reflect the fact that they are in the country illegally. Source: 2006 House campaign website, www.brucebraley.com, “Issues” , Nov 7, 2006
