Quotes
The United States has a long and proud tradition of welcoming immigrants from all over the world. But we also have a tradition of respecting the rule of law. That is why we must fix our broken immigration system, and why I have proposed reforms to ensure that we are not only a nation of immigrants, but also a nation of laws. We need to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and provide a pathway to citizenship for those who are here illegally but wish to stay and contribute to our society. And we must also ensure that those who commit crimes in our country are brought to justice and, if necessary, deported.
