Aggressive efforts against illegal immigration

The country's lax immigration laws pose a security risk to our homeland. Morrisey successfully filed suit against the Obama amnesty program and opposes sanctuary cities. He believes we need a comprehensive plan to tackle illegal immigration and protect our country, including more aggressive efforts to track the flow of visitors; building a wall; establishing more thorough vetting of security risks, and pushing greater coordination between law enforcement agencies.
