Immigration Reform Should Strengthen, Not Cost, America
By Heritage Foundation Monday, May 20, 2013
Lawful immigration can bring important economic and cultural benefits both to the United States and to the immigrants. Americans rightly live and celebrate the values of America, including limited government, personal liberty, and free enterprise, and beckon others to join us.
