Wendy Long on Immigration

	Wendy Long on Immigration

Support physical walls, virtual walls, and official English

I pledge to you, my fellow New Yorkers, that if elected I will [support the following policy on] Immigration: Support a physical wall, virtual walls, and heightened immigration standards at all points of entry to secure our borders and ensure that each individual entering the U.S. is fully screened and has a valid reason for entry; support enforcement of the rule of law including deportation of persons illegally in the United States; vote against the Obama migrant resettlement program; support English as the only official language of the United States.

Our borders are broken.
There are terrorists on our soil.
Our right of self-defense is in jeopardy.
Illegal drugs are destroying our people.
Middle class wages are falling.
It's time to put American workers first.
It's time to let Americans have the dignity of work and good wages.
It's time to stop pitting Americans against each other.
We can get our beloved country back.
