Heath Shuler on Immigration

Democrat

No amnesty; secure borders are a national security issue

The US is a nation built of immigrants, seeking opportunity and freedom. However, our current system of immigration is broken. Illegal and undocumented immigrants are flooding into our country in massive numbers. We must control immigration and secure our borders, as a national security issue. Additionally, illegal immigration is imposing a huge financial burden on the American economy. I do not support granting amnesty to people who have broken the law.
