Amanda Swafford on Immigration

Earned citizenship after fines & wait times

A: Support. After mandatory fines, extended wait times, applications for citizenship are processed for legal immigrants and other conditions are met.

Protect the borders; prevent illegal entry

Swafford: Agree

No caps on number of visas allowed

• Revise all guest worker programs into a single program with no caps on the number of visas allowed and no quotas based on country of origin.
• For anyone already in the US found to be in violation of past or existing immigration laws assess fines, back taxes and a probationary term prior to entry into the guest worker program.
• Eliminate employer penalties and compliance burdens forced on businesses.
• Create a legal environment for all immigrants to transact business and participate in many other activities that require government documents, such as the ability to buy and sell property, enter into contracts, use the court system for dispute resolution, etc. <.ul> Source: 2014 Georgia Senate campaign website, AmandaSwafford.net , Sep 30, 2014
