| Create Secure Borders
Obama and Biden want to preserve
the integrity of our borders. He supports additional personnel, infrastructure
and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.
Improve Our Immigration System
Obama and Biden believe we must fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy
and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together
and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.
Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally
Obama and Biden will remove incentives to enter the country illegally
by cracking down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.
Bring People Out of the Shadows
Obama and Biden support a system that allows undocumented immigrants
who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back
of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
Work with Mexico
Obama and Biden believe we need to do more to promote economic development
in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.

Securing Our Borders First.
John McCain's top immigration priority is to finish securing our borders
in an expedited manner. Governors of border states will be required to
certify that the border is secure. Steps to border security include:
Setting clear guidelines and objectives for securing the border through
physical and virtual barriers.
Ensuring that adequate funding is provided for resources on the ground,
but also training facilities, support staff and the deployment of technologies.
Dedicating funding to US Attorney’s offices in border states.
Implementing sound policies for contracting Department of Homeland Security
software and infrastructure.
Deploy Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and other aircraft where needed and
appropriate in the border region.
Continue implementation of the US-VISIT comprehensive visitor security
program.
