The American Legion policy on illegal immigration can be found on its Web site.

Secure the borders and other points of entry. Employ and train a sufficient number of U.S. border patrol agents. Utilize National Guard troops to assist in providing border security.

Eliminate the jobs magnet and social benefits. Enforce employer sanctions. Eliminate government financial aid for illegal alien students. Enforce existing laws to reduce the U.S. illegal population.

Reject amnesty or "legalization" programs for illegal aliens.

Promote cooperation between federal, state and local law enforcement officials, with emphasis on interior enforcement.

Prohibit eligibility to services offered by financial institutions in the United States. No driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

Designate English as the official language of the U.S. government and print all documents, including election ballots, in the English language only. Screen and track foreign visitors legally entering the U.S.

I completely agree with the American Legion. They are true Americans.
