State of Arkansas secondary Archives: on Immigration


Frank Gilbert: Aliens, if not criminals, should get path to citizenship

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens "?

Jake Bequette: We must stand against illegal entry into our country

Jake has defended America overseas. But he knows we also need to defend it here at home--starting with secure borders. As the Left pushes for open borders, our national security is threatened every day by drug cartels, trafficking, and criminals entering into our border states illegally. Jake knows we must resolutely stand against illegal entry into our country and that leniency for those entering criminally is an affront to hardworking patriots who have settled here lawfully.

Mark Swaney: Legalize those who are working & have not committed crimes

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens"?

A: I support increasing the number of people legally allowed to live in America; the test for that should be that the new Americans are working and have not committed crimes.
