I’m a child of immigrants. That is the history of this country. Immigration is good and important for our country. Legal immigration needs to really be modernized. – John Barrasso
If we want to set and enforce a limit on immigration, we have to be willing to say no to would-be immigrants who look a lot like our own ancestors, not because there’s anything wrong with them, but simply because admitting them would exceed our legal limit. – Jan C. Ting
All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind. – Joseph Conrad
But you can count the dead bodies from alcohol, tobacco, and legal pharmaceuticals by the millions. – Jack Herer
So much business is based on the belief that we should do whatever we can within legal limits to make as much money as we can. Ben & Jerry’s was based on values, and we try to operate a business that not just sells ice cream but partners with all our stakeholders – whether that’s suppliers or customers – to bring about a more sustainable world. – Jerry Greenfield
We have allowed a situation to develop in which it is legal for a multibillion dollar industry to own, wholly and in perpetuity, the intimate and personal details of children. – Beeban Kidron
The U.S. immigration system is the most generous in the world, providing each year more green cards for legal permanent residence with a clear path to full citizenship than all the rest of the nations of the world combined. – Jan C. Ting
The legal principle placing the burden of proof on accusers rather than the accused can be traced back to Second and Third Century Roman jurist, Julius Paulus Prudentissimus. Yet, this ancient concept, which forms the legal and moral cornerstone of the American judicial system, is quickly being undermined in the name of ‘national security.’ – Bob Barr
There should be a path to earned legal status for those that are here. Not – not amnesty – earned legal status, which means you pay a fine and do many things over an extended period of time. – Jeb Bush
I don’t believe in amnesty… What I have proposed is that we would come forth with a program that allows individuals to come forward and to plead guilty… They would have to pay a fine; they would have to go through a background check – some say learn English – and they would get learned legal status. – Chris Gibson
We believe that government in Britain is there to protect people from terrorism and from the worst criminality, but never at the expense of our civil liberties and the basic tenets of our legal system. – Charles Kennedy
I think lawyers who engage in pro bono service to protect those who cannot help themselves are truly the heroes and the heroines of the legal profession. – Janet Reno
We not only have a legal obligation to honor our commitments, we have a moral obligation to provide the coverage we promised to provide to these people. – Bob Ney
As legal residents, immigrants would contribute more in taxes, spend more at our businesses, start companies of their own and create more jobs. Immigration is not a problem for us to solve but an opportunity for America to seize. – Jose Andres
We will have to accept a certain degree of legal immigration; that’s globalisation… In the era of the smartphone, we cannot shut ourselves away… people know full well how we live in Europe. – Angela Merkel
Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations; use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions. – Abbie Hoffman
I have strongly rejected the proposal to pardon and transfer her to the United States. I do not have the legal power to pardon terrorists and even if I did, I would not use it. – Alberto Fujimori
I have always been of opinion that all the political workers should be indifferent and should never bother about the legal fight in the law courts and should boldly bear the heaviest possible sentences inflicted upon them. They may defend themselves but always from purely political considerations and never from a personal point of view. – Bhagat Singh
I guess music, particularly the blues, is the only form of schizophrenia that has organised itself into being both legal and beneficial to society. – Alexis Korner
I mean you might say he had a travelling post office, but also Barney was very, very active. He was a legal officer for the NAACP and they had a lot of problems after Pease. – Betty Hill
I’m not sure I can say there is a clean line between me as an individual and me as a lawyer. – Anita Hill
We have a legal and moral obligation to rid our world of nuclear tests and nuclear weapons. When we put an end to nuclear tests, we get closer to eliminating all nuclear weapons. A world free of nuclear weapons will be safer and more prosperous. – Ban Ki-moon
Everywhere among the English-speaking race criminal justice was rude, and punishments were barbarous; but the tendency was to do away with special privileges and legal exemptions. – Albert Bushnell Hart
