ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

As your next governor I will put the National Guard on our southern border in order to do what the federal government has failed to do, stop illegal immigration. Illegal immigration costs the state billions of dollars per year, and we cannot afford to continue footing the bill. I will go after employers who import, and hire illegal immigrants to work in their factories. There will be no benefits, public schooling, or drivers licenses for illegal immigrants.

Am I against immigrations? Of course not! American was founded by immigrants and became great by working with immigrants to build the greatest country the world has ever known!

So why am I against illegal immigration?

Quite simply, illegal immigration is ILLEGAL!

For over 200 years, foreigners have come to this country and worked to integrate themselves into our culture. But more and more a growing number of immigrants from other countries are coming here through improper channels and demanding that we change the way we do things so that they can not only retain their culture, but change our culture to match their own. Cultural change is something that needs to adopted willing, not by force from a group of people who arrived under false pretenses.

As Governor, I will review the immigration policies to ensure that they are fair to all immigrants trying to come to California using the proper channels. And I will work to ensure that illegal immigrants are not given any special privileges that will simply encourage more illegals to try to come here. America is a great country of immigrants, and we must keep it that way by ensuring that newly arriving immigrants come here using the proper channels.
