Where I stand - on immigration

I don't think a fence should be built along the border. I believe that people should come to the country legally, but that we should make it far easier for people to do so. People that just want to come here and work for a few months and then go back home should have an easy way to do that legally and not have to sneak in.
There are those that want to come here and stay. For them, I think it would be in their best interest to learn the language of the land, but I don't think it should be required by law that they do so.
Understanding the needs and desires of any that wish to come to this great country is the first thing we should do. Perhaps if we understood one another better, we would be more compassionate and less divisive.
