Ron Johnson on Immigration

Address comprehensive reform after border is secure

Q: On Immigration: Should America's 11 million undocumented residents have an earned path to citizenship?
Feingold: Yes
Johnson: No. Opposed 2013 bipartisan bill. Said would consider addressing after border is secure. Strong focus on first increasing border security. Then open to considering "step by step" approach to reform legislation, including such steps as E-Verify and a guest worker program. Could then consider path to citizenship.

I oppose blanket amnesty for illegal aliens

Q: Should Congress create a path to citizenship for the large number of unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States?
A: I oppose blanket amnesty for illegal aliens. The federal government has failed to secure our borders and that should be our top priority. I support enforcement on businesses that knowingly hire illegal aliens and prohibiting taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.

Secure the borders first; no blanket amnesty later

"First and foremost the federal government must act to secure our borders," says Johnson. Ron believes the federal government has failed to enforce current immigration laws and tighten our borders to stop the flow of illegal immigration. Ron opposes blanket amnesty.
Ron also supports REAL ID. Businesses or employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants should be penalized and we should take steps to prevent abuse or exploitation of workers due to their immigration status.
