Steve Sauerberg, MD, Republican Candidate for US Senate
"We must ensure our nation's security while also respecting the human dignity of all the people in our country." -Steve Sauerberg
Protect Our Borders
Illegal immigration is one of the biggest challenges we face as a nation. According to most estimates, between 12 and 16 million illegal immigrants are currently in our country and over 700,000 enter
America
illegally every year.
-
Secure our borders.
We must triple funding for the
U.S.
border patrol to stop the flow of those entering our country illegally.
-
No amnesty.
I oppose any effort to reward illegal behavior with amnesty or American citizenship without punitive measures. Dick Durbin's amnesty-first approach would cost taxpayers over $2.6 trillion.
-
Deport illegal aliens who commit felonies
when they finish serving their prison sentence.
-
All legal immigrants must learn to read and write English.
We are a melting pot of many cultures bound together by a common language, and success in our schools and our economy depends on being able to communicate by using the same language. Those who immigrate to the
United States
should understand the importance of our history and civics and respect the values of our democratic society.
-
Share our vision.
Impart the knowledge that
America
is a land of opportunity and optimism for those pursuing a better life through hard work and hope.
These are all the positions that Dick Durbin has voted in favor of:
- No Border Fence - No Border Security.
- Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants
- Taxpayer-Funded Tuition for Illegal Immigrants
- Social Security Benefits for Illegal Immigrants
- ** Dick Durbin was even the prime sponsor of legislation that would reward a convicted criminal and illegal immigrant with amnesty!!
