"For decades,the United States has not been in complete control of its borders.As a result,many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border and millions have stayed….We are a nation of laws,and we must enforce our laws.We're also a nation of immigrants,and we must uphold that tradition,which has strengthened our country in so many ways.These are not contradictory goals.America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time.We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration,and we will deliver a system that is secure,orderly,and fair.So I support comprehensive immigration reform that will accomplish…clear objectives. First,the United States must secure its borders.This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation.It is also an urgent requirement of our national security.Our objective is straightforward: The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration,and shut to illegal immigrants,as well as criminals,drug dealers,and terrorists."
