Brian Macdonald on Immigration

Republican Senate Challenger

Deport illegal immigrants and stop illegal immigration

Illegal immigration must be stopped. People who are here illegally should be deported. Allowing people who sneak into the country to stay here is not fair to the people who abide by the law and come here legally. The changes made by implementation of the FairTax Plan will make it even more desirable to live in the United States, which makes control of the illegal immigration problem even more critical.
