We should establish a legal and orderly path for foreign workers to enter our country to work on a temporary basis. As a result, they won’t have to try to sneak in, and that will leave border agents free to chase down drug smugglers, and criminals, and terrorists. /applause/ We'll enforce our immigration laws at the worksite, and give employers the tools to verify the legal status of their workers, so there is no excuse left for violating the law. /applause/ We need to uphold the great tradition of the melting pot that welcomes and assimilates new arrivals. /applause/ And we need to resolve the status of the illegal immigrants who are already in our country – without animosity and without amnesty."
