Tim Walberg on Immigration Republican

Secure our borders; temporary work permits but no amnesty

Tim supports requiring all foreign workers to obtain a temporary, legal work permit; no amnesty for illegal immigrants. Line cutting can never be accepted. Those who support drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants, and welfare for illegal immigrants are wrong, encourage disregard of our laws, and threaten the security of our citizens.
