Telling illegal aliens that we are not really looking for them unless they commit additional serious crimes is a tragic mistake and will only serve to encourage more illegal immigration.

Our country has made a series of mistakes, I think, when it comes to immigration reform, without serious border security and serious interior enforcement.

We are either a Nation of laws or we are not, and telling illegal aliens that we are really not looking for them unless they commit additional serious crimes is a mistake.

I do not believe in amnesty. I don't believe that what Ronald Reagan and the Democrats did in 1986 created amnesty.

Telling the American people that the border is more secure than ever is, at best, a disservice; the reality is that, according to the Mexican Migration Project, nearly 97% of illegal immigrants who try to cross the border eventually…

I think when you have the potential to administratively close hundreds of thousands of removal cases it sends a message, and that message is clear: That if you make it past the border you are scot-free.

I am very concerned--I know others are, as well-- that the message that this administration is sending will lead to strains on the Border Patrol's resources as potential illegal immigrants may surge across the border.

Instead of offering incentives for people to break the law we should be making it more difficult to cross the border and even harder to get a job once they are here illegally.

Last time I checked, Article II Section 3 of the Constitution states that the President 'shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.'

What I was confused about is when this policy came out and it caused some controversy--I think a lot of my constituents view it as an amnesty program; I think most of my constituents do not agree with amnesty.

I think that is the core issue with this new policy.
