Immigration is a pillar of our  great nation and adds to the rich culture of American life.  However, illegal immigration violates our  country's laws and poses a severe national security threat to our nation.  That is why I support a temporary guest  worker program, not blanket amnesty, to provide a legal way for immigrants to  come work in our country on a temporary basis.   A temporary guest worker program will allow the United States to know  who is coming and going across our borders and provides a legal way for  immigrants to come work in the jobs Americans do not want while allowing them  to provide for their families.  A blanket  amnesty policy would reward those who broke the law and be unfair to the  millions of immigrants who worked hard to come to our country legally.
