New policy for legal immigration: more border security

Gene will fight for a compassionate policy that prioritizes legal immigration. Our current immigration policy has been broken for decades. Any meaningful reform must provide for an increase in border security to reduce both human trafficking and illegal drugs crossing our borders. Gene believes that existing laws related to immigration should be enforced. It is our laws and our constitution that make our country strong.

Supports comprehensive immigration reform, and address DACA

Candidates Chuck Boyce and Gene Truono addressed 10 questions on a range of subjects. Boyce said he supports President Donald Trump's proposed border wall, as well as "21st-century solutions." He said the wall is going to "cost a lot of money and it's going to take a lot of time, and it's a 6th-century solution to a 21st-century problem."

Truono said, "Let's just be honest--our immigration system is broken. It takes far too long for people to come into this country legally." He called the issue "a can that Congress has kicked down the road" and said he supports currently proposed comprehensive immigration legislation but he said he feels it is unlikely it will pass during the current Congressional session. He said he supports the border wall and ending so-called "chain migration" but feels that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) should be addressed in exchange for those.
