2022 GA Senate race: on Immigration


Herschel Walker: For path to citizenship in 2015, now only "a strong border"

On immigration, he's spoken frequently on Fox News about the need for "a strong border." But when asked this week about a 2015 interview when he also supported a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally, his team pivoted back to the "strong border" concept without addressing the larger policy question.

Herschel Walker: Secure our southern border, fix the immigration problem

The border crisis isn't just a border state problem, it is a Georgia problem that is bringing drugs, crime, and human trafficking to our state. While Herschel is fully supportive of those who follow the legal immigration process, he believes that our leaders have a Constitutional obligation to secure America's borders and keep Americans safe. Herschel will work to secure our southern border and fix the immigration problem, which Washington politicians have failed to address for decades.

Latham Saddler: For a physical and technological wall on southern border

Border security is national security. Because of his experience as a special operations leader, Latham knows that a secure perimeter and good intelligence are critical for mission success. He will apply these basic principles to our southern border by advocating for a physical and technological wall and advancing our border patrol's intelligence capabilities.
