It is the sense of Congress that: The legal immigration system of the United States should be curtailed to those that can contribute not only economically but have demonstrated respect for this Nation’s culture and rule of law. America’s borders must be defended, and illegal immigration must be stopped without exception. A measure of a country’s greatness is the value recognized in being a citizen. As such, America cannot tarnish the citizenship designation by rewarding those who fail to follow the laws at the expense of those who do.
Amnesty must be rejected in all forms. Unnaturalized birthright citizenship—which actively encourages hostile interests to undermine the legitimacy of democratic self-governance by engaging in subversive birth tourism and chain migration—is contrary to the intent of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Federally imposed refugee resettlement programs should be rejected due both to disruption to local communities and the corruption rampant within these programs.
