Steven Sauerberg on Immigration

Republican Challenger

No amnesty; no citizenship without punitive measures

I oppose any effort to reward illegal behavior with amnesty or American citizenship without punitive measures. Durbin's amnesty-first approach would cost taxpayers over $2.6 trillion. Source: Campaign website, www.sauerbergforussenate.com, "Stands" May 21, 2008

Triple funding for the US border patrol

We must triple funding for the US border patrol to stop the flow of those entering our country illegally. Source: Campaign website, www.sauerbergforussenate.com, "Stands" May 21, 2008

Deport illegal aliens who commit felonies

Oppose amnesty; immediately deport illegal immigrants

I oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants. As Senator I will work to:

secure our borders,
oppose any effort to provide amnesty or incentives to illegals and
immediately deport illegal immigrants.
