2024 MT Senate race: on Immigration


Tim Sheehy: Finally put an end to illegal immigration once and for all

What's happening at the southern border is an absolute crisis, and it gets worse each day under the Biden administration and with career politicians like Jon Tester who talk a tough game about border security but aren't getting the job done. The result of an open southern border is more crime and drugs flooding into our country and into our Montana communities. We need to take a strong stand and secure our border, finish the wall, and finally put an end to illegal immigration once and for all.

Jon Tester: Tighten asylum laws; hire more border guards

Immigration: How to handle immigration and the border? Support a path to citizenship for "DACA" participants brought to the US as children?

Jon Tester (D): Voted for 2023-2024 bipartisan Senate border security bill to tighten asylum laws and hire more border guards. Said Biden's border policies had "failed." Supports DACA; "breaking a promise to these children... is not the solution."

Tim Sheehy (R): Called the 2024 bipartisan border security bill "political theater." Would axe the Department of Homeland Security. "Secure our border, finish the wall, and... end... illegal immigration." No DACA position found.
