Jim Pillen on Immigration

 

 


Help get criminal illegal aliens off our streets

Because of our shared commitment to border security and immigration enforcement, Nebraska became one of the first states in the nation to establish an ICE detention facility to help get criminal illegal aliens off our streets. We have a simple message: Nebraska is proud to be doing our part to get the border secure and to protect America's kids from criminals who traffic people, gang violence, and drugs like fentanyl and meth.

We must demand order on the southern border

We must demand order on the southern border. We are decades into the federal government not enforcing our laws and refusing to deal with immigration reform. It is simply inexcusable. The result is state and local governments are forced to deal with the resulting issues like education, healthcare, workforce and law enforcement. More importantly, the failure to reform and enforce an immigration policy creates a national security threat at every entry point to the U.S., and exploits the vulnerable.

Fight any pathway to citizenship for those here illegally

Illegal immigration and a porous southern border undermine the rule of law and make our communities less safe. I will demand order on our nation's southern border, support the wall, oppose amnesty, veto benefits for illegal immigrants, and fight any pathway to citizenship for those here illegally. I'll support efforts to closely coordinate with federal immigration enforcement to ensure that our nation's laws are aggressively enforced here in Nebraska.
