The Republican Party believes in immigration laws and immigration reforms that address the needs of national security. The party has always been divided on to exactly what extent immigration laws should be tightened, but as a whole the party believes that a system needs to be in place to ensure that immigrants who enter this country illegally are not provided with the same benefits that legal citizens are. The Republicans strongly endorse and favor legal immigration. They acknowledge that, legal immigrants are making vital contributions in every aspect of our national life. The Republicans are also very strongly against illegal immigrants. As stated in their platform, That is why we oppose any form of amnesty for those who, by intentionally violating the law, disadvantage those who have obeyed it. Granting amnesty only rewards and encourages more lawbreaking.
The Republicans are highly critical of Obama's approach to immigration, noting that it has "undermined the rule of law at every turn… It has created a backdoor amnesty program unrecognized in law, granting worker authorization to illegal aliens, and shown little regard for the life- and- death situations facing the men and women of the border patrol. The Republican Party will create humane procedures to encourage illegal aliens to return home voluntarily, while enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas." In other words, the Republicans want to encourage TNT's to buy a plane ticket and fly back to their home country, or they will seek to deport those who remain. The Republicans favor states' efforts at passing harsh immigration laws against illegals: "State efforts to reduce illegal immigration must be encouraged, not attacked. The pending Department of Justice lawsuits against Arizona, Alabama, South Carolina, and Utah must be dismissed immediately."
