“I think on all the debate on immigration, and all of that, the class of person that should be given the benefit of the doubt is the genuine refugee that is just in real desperate strait. Some of them are in the United States illegally because of [human] trafficking. They were caught up in trafficking, and you can argue to what extent it's their fault, to what extent they didn't know what they were getting into.” ThinkingKnowsShouldHumansPersonsRealStatesGivenUnitedClassUnited StatesDoubtBenefitsFaultsCaughtArguingDebateGenuineImmigrationDesperateCaught UpRefugeeHuman TraffickingTraffickingBenefit Of The Doubt Author:Preston Manning

“In my view, immigrants today aren't any different from immigrants who have come to America throughout our nation's history. They bring new ideas, an entrepreneurial spirit and close family ties. They place a high value on education. And they are eager to achieve the American Dream. ... It's to our benefit to keep our doors open, and to keep enriching our economy and culture. I'd like to see America continue to do so.” IdeasDifferentDreamTodayAmericaSpiritValuesCultureNationsViewsEconomyDoorsAchieveBenefitsImmigrationTiesImmigrantsAmerican DreamNew IdeasEntrepreneurialEnrichingFamily TiesEntrepreneurial SpiritClose Family Author:Dick Armey
“Our immigration policy is focussed in four areas: First, strengthening border control; second, protecting American jobs by enforcing laws against illegal immigrants at the workplace; third, deporting criminal and deportable aliens; fourth, giving assistance to states who need it, and denying illegal aliens benefits for public services or welfare.” NeedsGivingFirstsStatesJobsLawFourPolicyBenefitsAreasThirdsCriminalsImmigrationAliensWelfareBordersImmigrantsIllegalFourthWorkplaceAssistancePublic ServiceStrengtheningIllegal ImmigrantsIllegal AliensImmigration PolicyAmerican JobsBorder Control Author:William J.

“All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.” CountryStatesUseMightJobsNumbersRecordsCitizensBenefitsMovedBurdenCriminalsImmigrationOur CountrySecureAliensAdministrationWelfareBordersImmigrantsIllegalAffectedEnteringTaxpayersDisturbedPublic ServiceHiringLarge NumbersIllegal Aliens Author:William J.

“It's absolutely the wrong signal, I think, to those who have entered this country legally or those who may be considering illegal immigration for a lot of benefits to be provided... Emergency medical needs should be met, but otherwise I think send the wrong signal to those who have come into the country legally and those who may be considering illegal immigration. So as you know, I've called for an increase in the border patrol agents. I've looked at that from both the standpoints of drugs and to prevent illegal immigration, but I think that's where the focus should be.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsShouldMayCountryFocusMetsDrugBenefitsIncreaseMedicalImmigrationAgentsBordersIllegalConsideringSignalsEmergenciesStandpointIllegal ImmigrationBorder Patrol Author:Elizabeth Dole
