I prefer Devore. Campbell has a very good stance on immigration.

"When I was a State Senator, I proposed stationing California National Guard at the border to assist with border patrol, and I have consistently supported a fence or other physical barrier. Those who say that no barrier is perfect miss the point that we can and should protect our border to the maximum extent possible, even if it’s short of being 100% effective.

As long as the wage rate for daily labor is higher than that in other countries, we’ll have people trying to cross our border illegally. A physical barrier needs to be across the entire border, but we can at least do our part in California; and if the federal government won’t pay for it, we will handle our own portion.

Once we have our border really secure, we have to address the problems caused by those whose parents brought them into our country illegally. Those children, many who are now adults, are not the ones who broke the law, and in some cases, they have no other home. I could see a different approach for them than for their parents, who did knowingly break our laws, and who do have another place that is their legal home. But securing the border has to come first, because any grant of privileges invites more illegal entry.

I also believe that those who broke our laws to enter our country should not be permitted to stay. Amnesty programs invite future illegal entry.

The lowest reliable estimates I’ve seen are that illegal immigration costs our state 3 billion dollars a year. I’ve seen reliable estimates at twice that level, too. America, like all sovereign nations, has the right to determine whom we invite to become citizens. We should determine that on the basis of our country’s needs, not on the basis of who enters illegally.

Furthermore, we should impose serious employee sanctions for those who hire those illegally here.

We should establish an “e-verify” system for employers to check the name and social security number of all new employees. If the number and name match, the employer can be given an “OK” number for her or his records. If an employer is found who does not have an “OK” number for each of her or his employees, we need to impose very serious fines on that employer. This still won’t catch everyone, but it will catch most of the illegal aliens, since the most common kind of fraud involves simply making up a social security number.

It is long overdue for us to punish the employer who breaks the law, as well as the illegal alien, and to secure our border with a fence enforced by our National Guard. Californians deserve an immigration policy that enforces its laws and protects its citizens."
