Protecting our borders and standing up for the rule of law are critical. Lee strongly believes we should support immigrants who come to America legally and abide by our laws, but never should we support any form of amnesty. Instead, immediate attention should be given to securing the border.

In the US Senate, Lee will support legislation to…

End "Chain migration". Chain migration occurs because foreign nationals gain entry to the country and are then allowed to legally bring in their extended, non-nuclear family members. Chain Migration is one of the chief culprits in America's current record-breaking population boom and all the attendant sprawl, congestion, school overcrowding, and other impacts that reduce American's quality of life.
Reform Birthright Citizenship by passing HR 140, the Birthright Citizenship Act, which would extend citizenship at birth if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national; (2) a lawful permanent resident alien whose residence is in the United States; or (3) an alien performing active service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Restructure Visa & Refugee Fraud. Especially by U.S. Officials, is out of control. This kind of fraud by government officials is designed to achieve political not humanitarian ends. As recently as 2008, the State Department suspended all family reunification applications (P-3 Visas) from U.S.-based refugees because of rampant fraud.
