Illegal immigration is costing Massachusetts taxpayers nearly $2 billion annually on taxpayers funded benefits for those who are breaking the rules. Marc supports strong reforms to deal with the issue of illegal immigration including:

- Withholding funding to Sanctuary Cities
- Creating stronger penalties for those caught making fake IDs
- Requiring proof of citizenship in order to receive state and local services
- Increasing punitive penalties for knowingly hiring illegal workers
- Requiring the courts to verify the citizenship of any individual appearing in a state court
- Prohibiting legal state residents from being bypassed on public housing lists in favor illegal immigrants
