Event Summary
U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill (TX) joined Mark Krikorian, the Center’s executive director, for an Immigration Newsmaker conversation discussing U.S. immigration policy, border security, and potential reforms to both legal and illegal immigration systems.
“We’ve had open borders for four years, with an estimated 15 to 20 million illegal immigrants entering the United States,” Gill said. “It’s the biggest political crisis we’ve faced in decades. More fundamentally, immigration touches everything else — it is the one issue that determines who we are as a country and as a people.”
Gill addressed enforcement policy, immigration levels, assimilation, and current political debates on immigration law.
