Tommy Tuberville on Immigration

 

 


Don't provide for those whose simple presence breaks the law

Q: Opinion of immigrant rights?

Tommy Tuberville: "Our tax dollars should not be used to provide for those who break our laws with their simple presence." Would give more resources to detention centers and border patrols to fight "illegal immigration that brings drugs, terrorists, and criminals into our country on a daily basis."

Doug Jones: "Children and young adults in the DACA program are contributing members of our society, serving in the military and owning businesses that employ Americans."

Need to fight the scourge of illegal immigration

We must first secure our border as we attempt real immigration reforms that will impact our nation for decades to come. I fully support President Trump's plan to build a wall and make our nation more secure. And I will make sure our border patrol, detention centers, and law enforcement officers along and near the border have the resources they need to fight the scourge of illegal immigration that brings drugs, terrorists, and criminals into our country on a daily basis.

Get a wall up or some kind of fencing

Nativism is showing up in his campaign issues. "Right now, they're just coming over tens of thousands a day. They're bringing drugs; they're bringing diseases," he said. "They're doing everything possible to come here, and you can't blame them, but we got to get our Congress together and help President Trump do things necessary to get a wall up or some kind of fencing."
