Which policies?
The stammering will be more interesting than anything they have to say.

I'm actually generally in favor of open borders, and the Democrat Party position is way far from that. And even though I'm in favor, I don't think we should jump to it right away, just increase immigration quotas and simplify the work visa system. Basically, if you can prove you can earn your own way, you can come and work.
Democrats want a path toward a visa for people who are already here. Many of those people didn't come by choice, they were brought by their parents, and they have more connections here than where they have citizenship.
Republicans want to be tough on immigration because there's this idea that it's somehow related to drug crime. That's stupid, but there it is.
I think immigrants add a ton of value to our economy and generally make our country great, and I want more of it. Democrats and Republicans want to maintain what we have, they just have different methods of going about it.
