David Price Supports Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants

As chairman of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, I have worked to move policy in a constructive direction in areas such as border security and immigration enforcement. To be truly effective, our immigration policy must simultaneously address border security and employer accountability, create legal avenues for workers to enter the country to meet the legitimate needs of employers, and offer opportunities for adjustment to legal status -- on a case by case basis -- to those undocumented workers and their families who are already firmly established in our communities. If through such policies we can eliminate the flow of illegal workers crossing our borders, the Department of Homeland Security can focus its resources on terrorist threats and criminal threats at the border.
