Nathan Thornburg's position on immigration is the following.
He considers that the United States federal government has to assume a definite posture on the issue of immigration that still affects the country. In his article of 2007 titled "A Case for Amnesty," Thornburg questions the way some politicians have approached the complicated issue of immigration, the consequences for the country, and the affectation of many immigrants.
He cites some examples such as the posture of the late Republican Senator John McCain.
The point of Thornburg is that the Amnesty bill could have positive political consequences for the American government, and somehow alleviate the flux of immigration to the United States.
