2020 OR Senatorial race: on Immigration

Jo Rae Perkins: For border wall, against "sanctuary status"

I stand with President Trump in expanding and fortifying the border wall. Immigrants are welcome that come into our nation legally. Pass laws that limits or stops federal dollars to any state, county, city, etc., that has declared "sanctuary status" for illegal aliens. Allowing illegal aliens to enter our country contributes to sex, human and drug trafficking. Source: 2020 Oregon Senate campaign website PerkinsForUSSenate.com Aug 17, 2020

Jo Rae Perkins: Give Dreamers opportunity to become citizens, no Federal aid

I have a common-sense solution. Dreamers would have six months to register with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and declare their intention to become US citizens. They would then have six years to become citizens. During this time, they would be required to undergo thorough background checks to verify they are eligible for citizenship. Once the Dreamer has registered with USCIS, they would not be eligible to receive any federal assistance. Source: 2020 Oregon Senate campaign website PerkinsForUSSenate.com Aug 17, 2020

Paul Romero: Border wall is a good thing for everybody

Romero is a fan of President Donald Trump, and shares many of his views on immigration. He said countries around the world protect their borders, and America should too. "A wall at the border is going to greatly reduce everything from drugs to human trafficking to illegal immigration to the potential of terrorists moving across our borders and into our country. This is a good thing for everybody, whether they want to admit it or not," Romero said. He said he favors legal immigration. Source: The News-Review on 2020 Oregon Senate race Sep 20, 2019
