Our nation's immigration policy has been of top concern in recent years, and for good reason. With between eight and twelve million illegal aliens in the United States, it is obviously a problem out of control.

Chris Cannon

Governments have a legitimate concern with slowing population growth. But often this has been attempted with little concern for the individuals most affected.

Ruth Simmons

We’re looking for good lawsuits that will establish the interests of animals as a legitimate area of concern in law.

Ingrid Newkirk

Much of what we now consider to be problems concerning immigration and assimilation really concern Mexican immigration and assimilation.

Samuel P. Huntington

Even if we didn't have a single person in the USA in violation of immigration laws, we'd still have to do immigration reform, because our legal immigration system is broken. It's not good for anybody.

Marco Rubio

Brexit makes me uncomfortable. It feels like we're in no-man's-land, and it doesn't feel safe. People who voted to leave did so because of the scaremongering. It was all about immigration, but immigration is a great thing.

Nadiya Hussain

We cannot allow voters to fall for the spin that a vote to leave is the only way to deal with concerns about immigration. We can do far more to address both the level and impact of immigration while remaining in the E.U.

We've even lost the definition of immigration. "Immigration" today, if you listen to the left, equals anybody who wants to come into the country should be allowed. That's not what immigration is. That's illegal immigration, and we ought to all oppose it.

This is a proper concern - Labour must stand for those who voted leave every bit as much as we represent those who voted remain.

Chuka Umunna

This is a serious problem of major concern, and we have got to approach it in a way that is consistent with this nation's tradition as a nation of immigrants, focusing on legal immigration, supporting that in the right way and doing everything possible consistent with the Constitution to control illegal immigration, and we will continue in those efforts.

Janet Reno

I do believe there is absolutely space for legitimate debate in a liberal democracy about immigration selection, screening and integration.

Jason Kenney

Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity. They are children, women and men who leave or who are forced to leave their homes for various reasons, who share a legitimate desire for knowing and having, but above all for being more

Pope Francis

If you're not willing to have somebody hauled off at gunpoint over the project, then it's probably not a legitimate concern of the state.

Kevin D. Williamson

Independent economists say immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next two decades. And for good reason: when people come here to fulfill their dreams - to study, invent, and contribute to our culture - they make our country a more attractive place for businesses to locate and create jobs for everyone. So let's get immigration reform done this year.

Barack Obama

I do have a concern however, humanity has a great way of adapting and I'm sure scientists of the future, probably after I leave this planet, earth will have a new way of dealing with the internet but I do have a concern in the transition period.
