The Republican Party looks at massive immigration legal and illegal as a source of cheap labor satisfying a very important constituency.

The Democratic Party looks at massive immigration legal and illegal as a source of voters.

Therefore if we are a Nation of laws and a Nation of immigrants immigration should occur within a legal framework not through the machinations of illegal schemes and scams that threaten our national security.

While I support immigration regulated through a legal framework I do not support rewarding those who broke the law to get here.

Let me remind you that nuclear disarmament is not just an ardent desire of the people as expressed in many resolutions of the United Nations. It is a legal commitment by the five official nuclear states entered into when they signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

I also urge the Obama administration - both on its own and in cooperation with other responsible governments around the world - to use all legal means necessary to shut down WikiLeaks before it can do more damage by releasing additional cables. WikiLeaks' activities represent a shared threat to collective international security.

We should be the pro-legal immigration party. A party that has a positive platform and agenda on how we can create a legal immigration system that works for immigrants and works for America.

It's impossible to walk a block in Miami in Los Angeles San Antonio without running into someone who is being deeply impacted by a broken legal immigration system.

Like all other law-abiding Americans I fully support legal immigration.

As Congress continues to debate ways to address illegal immigration we must remember the many hard-working legal immigrants that contribute so much to our nation's economy and culture.
