2020 KS Senatorial race: on Immigration
Roger Marshall:
Turn off magnets for migrants to enter under false pretenses
I've been to the border several times. I know it is a crisis, and President Trump is right: we must build a wall and fix our broken immigration system, and we have to turn off the magnets that attract, promote, encourage and allow migrants to
enter our country under false pretenses. We can build more shelters, we can send more doctors and nurses, more food and water, but proportionately more people will die trying to get to this country.

Dave Lindstrom:
No discussion of immigration reform until border secured
Dave strongly believes that you do not find your best skilled labor crossing the border in the dead of night, but instead through a tightly regulated, secure immigration process tailored to meet the needs of our nation, not the need for a permanent
underclass to bolster the fortunes of a declining political party. A nation is not a nation without secure borders to regulate who and what is crossing our borders.
It's time to enforce our immigration laws and secure the border. Only when border security has been competently achieved can a discussion of comprehensive immigration reform begin in earnest. We can't adequately address the issue the of those already
here illegally when we have left the doors wide open at the border. Reforming our immigration protocol for legal immigration makes no sense as long as foreign individuals can come and go across our borders with impunity, and without consequence.

Dave Lindstrom:
National security starts with wall on southern border
Dave will also work to ensure that our national security and our Armed Forces continue to be the best in the world.
Part of having a real national security starts with a wall on our southern border and immigration policies that reward those who follow the rules.

Susan Wagle:
President Trump is right; we must build a wall
President Trump is right. We must build a wall. A wall sends the signal to the world we will no longer allow illegal entry into our Country. It is a symbol: Don't cross.
A wall makes the current treacherous path followed impossible. In the helicopter I viewed the beginnings of the wall. My escort said, "here is where the wall ends. Here is where chaos starts."

Dave Lindstrom:
Build wall in some areas; use technology in other areas
Lindstrom said he supports Trump in his plans for enhanced security along the United States-Mexico border. "What we need to do is in some areas, we need to build a wall," he said. "Other areas, maybe technology will handle it. Further beyond that, we
need to fund a budget that will pay for those things and put politics aside and protect our nation." Lindstrom suggested initiating DNA testing to make sure adults are bringing their own children while seeking entry into the United States.

Dave Lindstrom:
We need to grow, but make sure they're coming in legally
Lindstrom said he believes Trump is "working hard" to secure the southern border, and wants people to seek entry into the United States legally. "We do have to reform our immigration so that we allow folks to come in this country, but we are a country
of laws," he said. "And we need to make sure that they're coming in legally. We want people to come into this country. We need to grow. We need bodies to help us employ, help us fill some of the jobs that we have vacant right now."

Jake LaTurner:
Protect our country; build the wall
Our freedoms and values are under assault. As your US Senator, I pledge:Protect Our Country, Build the Wall: The safety and security of our nation will be among my top priorities and our men and women in uniform will have my total support.
Like President Reagan, I support a "Peace Through Strength" approach to national defense. Protecting American interests abroad and at our borders are critical to a free and prosperous society.
