Illegal immigration is a nightmare for America.  Giving a pathway to citizenship without first securing the border is an inducement to encourage more illegal immigration.  This is nothing more than a political game by the Democrats to try and drive a wedge between the Hispanic community and Republicans. 

Today’s cynical vote on the DREAM Act, along with a series of other votes, convinces me that the Democratic leadership in the Senate does not get the message from the last election. They care more about politics than policy in a variety of areas, including illegal immigration.

Lindsey Graham answers questions from constituents about sending troops to the border between Mexico and the United States.

I believe the DOJ lawsuit will be counter-productive when it comes to finding a solution to our immigration problems.  It is clear the people of Arizona believe the federal government has let them down when it comes to securing our border.  And most Americans feel strongly that we must make sincere and meaningful efforts to secure our borders now. 

The people of Arizona are not the problem.  It is the failure of the federal government to secure our borders that is the real problem. 

The resources being dedicated to this lawsuit should be directed to border security.  Once progress is made securing our border, our nation can look to comprehensive reform. 

The raging war in Mexico between the government and drug cartels has dramatically increased violence along the border.  More resources should be deployed to that area.  It should include more National Guard troops, Border Patrol agents, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other security measures.
