I am deeply committed to securing our border, which I know is an integral part of our overall national security – a strong nation must have strong borders.
The United States of America is the most generous nation in the history of the world for immigrants, and we should continue to be. However, we should always do so with respect to our laws. Our legal immigration system strengthens our society and contributes to the greater good, which is why I am opposing any efforts to undermine it.
