Sen. Santorum Pledges to Vote Against the Immigration Bill due to amnesty
Senator Rick Santorum outlines his views on immigration in his podcast.
Senator Santorum continues to prove why he's one of the few true conservatives left in the Senate. Santorum's views on immigration are in line with your every day conservative -- secure the borders, no amnesty to those who break the laws. Santorum knows that if we allow any program, such as the guest-worker program, that eventually leads to amnesty, that such a program would only encourage more immigrants to enter our country -- illegally.
Sen. Santorum also recognizes that the House is not going to approve of the way the Senate bill is currenty written, mostly due to the fact that the House contains principled conservatives like Sen. Santorum who actually have spines.
Here is my proposal: Secure the borders. Stop illegal immigration. Slowly increase legal immigration quotas as illegal immigration decreases.
