Survey of 2021 Senate campaign websites: on Immigration
Carla Sands:
Build the wall; don't admit unaccompanied alien children
Washington needs to return to an immigration and border security policy that prioritizes American interests. We know how to do it: continue building the border wall; reinstate the Remain in Mexico program; use Title 42 authority until COVID is no longer
laws, including deportations; and expand employment verification to ensure employers hire only work-authorized employees.

Marjorie K. Eastman:
National security not possible without border security
Strong national security is not possible without strong border security. Right now, America is not secure because our leaders have put a reckless, partisan political agenda ahead of border security. We can--and we must--honor our duty
to accept the tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free while also enforcing our nation's immigration laws which exist to safeguard American lives and prosperity.

Billy Long:
Secure our border, finish the wall, end sanctuary cities
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are flowing into our country, we must put an end to the Biden/Harris disaster at the border. Having an open border invites drug trafficking, human trafficking, and more.
We must secure our border, finish the wall, reinstate the "remain in Mexico" policy, put an end to sanctuary cities, and enforce a merit-based visa system.

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.

Forgiven Stranger Act: citizenship for coming out of hiding
- Take a close look into how illegal immigrants are dealt with at our borders via U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and create legislation that ensures families and children are treated humanely.
- Take a closer look at country caps for
immigration and create legislation which ensures equity
- Introduce legislation that makes it illegal to immediately deport individuals who voluntarily and honestly come out of hiding and rewards them by placing them on a pathway to citizenship.
-
The Forgiven Stranger Act. This legislation will institute immigration reform which would make it illegal to deport U.S. military individuals and ones who voluntarily come out of hiding who have no criminal history and provide them with an immediate
pathway to citizenship. We have over 12+ million undocumented immigrants in this country who could be openly and honestly contributing to our economy, our tax base, and so much more. Enough is enough.

Gary Black:
Secure the border; build the wall; support zero amnesty
President Biden and Raphael Warnock's open borders policy has unleashed a national security and public health crisis. Border crossings are at a record high, overwhelming Customs and Border Patrol and leading to thousands of illegal immigrants
being freed into our country with no court date. Full stop. In the U.S. Senate, I'll fight to ensure the border is secure, the law is enforced, and the wall is built. And I support zero amnesty. Period.

JD Vance:
Oppose amnesty; build the wall; double border agents
Biden's policies have created a crisis out of thin air, after four years of President Trump's successful efforts to get our border under control. As Ohio's next senator, I will oppose every attempt by the Democrats to grant amnesty, so that our
communities are safe places to live and work and raise a family. I'll also work to finish construction of a border wall, and double the number of border agents in our country.We also must reform our legal immigration system.
In no other developed country do we allow migration primarily based on family relations rather than skills. Millions of people want to come here, and we should only allow them if they contribute something meaningful to our country.
Our capacity to assimilate the next generation of immigrants is limited, and our legal immigration system should account for this fact by changing who we let in and reducing the total numbers.

Jo Rae Perkins:
Let courts decide if illegally entering country is a felony
If a person enters your home without permission, have they entered illegally? And if they enter illegally, have they committed a crime? Whether that is a misdemeanor or a felony is up to the courts. The United States is my home country and is sovereign.
Therefore, entering outside of the laws of legal entrance into my Home country, has one violated a law? And if so, is that an illegal action? Whether civil or criminal again, that is up to the courts to make that decision.

I will never support amnesty, fight to secure the border
Right now, we have the Ohio National Guard and even state law enforcement supporting border states to stop the illegal flow of migrants and drugs into our country. Strengthening border security is paramount to maintaining national sovereignty and
keeping communities here in Ohio safe. I will never support amnesty. I will fight to secure the border with walls, surveillance, virtual capabilities and personnel. I will stand for the Rule of Law.

Protect our border; finish the wall; end amnesty
Returning to America First immigration policies. Protecting our borders is essential to national security, economic security, and national sovereignty. I will fight to finish the wall.
I will re-institute the Remain in Mexico policy and end amnesty and catch and release. An open border contributes to a surge in Ohio's opioid epidemic and human trafficking. A strong border translates to safe communities.

I will put my full force of will into building Trump's wall
Kamala Harris thinks the crisis at the border is a joke while thousands of children are being trafficked along into the US Illegally while drugs, illegal immigrants, and terrorists can flow freely from the US Mexico border. While
Kamala believes our country's sovereignty is a laughing matter, I do not. I will put my full force of will into building Trump's wall and locking down the border for good. Lives, communities, and the future of our country depends on getting this done.

Without a border, we are not a country
Everything that was accomplished under President Trump along the border is getting reversed by Biden. It is horrible. We were dealing blows to illegal immigration, drug runners, coyotes, and finally securing our border on the South. We have always
had challenges with how people come to America, but we can not just ignore the problem--let's fix the problem. Our borders need to be secured because without a border, we are not a country.

Stop the surge of illegal immigrants and secure our border
The Biden Administration's continued dithering over the ongoing crisis at our southern border should outrage every Washingtonian. This is not some distant problem on the other side of the country, it impacts every single American. For the sake of our
national security and make progress in ending the pandemic, we must stop the surge of illegal immigrants and secure our border. And for the sake of these children, we must work with our international partners to resolve this humanitarian crisis.

Stop the siege at the border, build the wall
I am horrified and disgusted by what's happening right now at our Southern border. A nation without borders is not a nation. I resolutely believe we must put a stop to this siege and build the wall. The Biden Border Crisis is also unfair to those that
come to America the right way--legally--in pursuit of the American Dream. I support legal immigration that promotes growth for Alabama families, jobs and communities.

Oppose open borders; support law enforcement
Arizonans want safety and security for their families. Ensuring that is one of the responsibilities of government, but one our elected officials ignore, choosing to politicize our safety with calls for open borders and the defunding of police.
We're going to put safety and security before politics. As Attorney General, I've defended Arizona's border security in court, taking on the Obama and Biden Administrations for their handling of the border. I'll take that same fight to Washington.

Blake Masters:
Not clear we need a million new legal immigrants every year
We need to completely end illegal immigration using every tool at hand: physical walls, surveillance technology, thousands more border patrol agents, and mandatory E-Verify for employers. We need to rework our legal Immigration
system. When so many already existing Americans are struggling, it's not clear that we need a million new legal immigrants every year. We must reform our heavily abused asylum system and rethink our foreign worker visa programs entirely.

Create work visa program that respects the rule of law
The time is long past for government and industry to get together and create a comprehensive work visa system that respects the rule of law. The economic security of our citizens and the working conditions for those allowed to work in the US legally
depend on it. I intend to press for a temporary work visa program to address the needs of our industries, ensuring that the livelihoods of our citizens are given priority and those given entry are treated fairly.

Oppose open borders, amnesty for illegal immigrants
Joe Biden and his Socialist allies in Congress are targeting all the progress we made with Donald Trump as our President. Rolling back tough-on-China policies, flinging open our borders with amnesty for twelve million illegal immigrants, and decimating
American energy jobs are just a few of the policies threatening the progress we have made and our Ohio values. As a U.S. Senator, Jane will be a champion for all Ohioans--protecting our way of life, protecting our jobs, and protecting families.

Secure borders before discussing eligibility for citizenship
I stand with those who believe we must secure our borders. I stand with those who say we must enforce our visa laws, for half of the undocumented immigrants come to America on an airplane.I stand with those who believe our sovereign nation has the
right, and an obligation to create an immigration policy that can be enforced. Once we have done these things we can sit down and discuss who should be allowed to come in as a guest worker, and who is eligible to be put on a path to citizenship.

China's economic cheating and advance conservative policies that gave us the greatest economy in American history. We need to keep our foot on the gas and build off the momentum of the Trump presidency.
