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.

Kelly Ayotte: Enforce a zero-tolerance policy for sanctuary cities

As Governor, Kelly will strictly enforce immigration laws throughout our state and provide additional resources for northern law enforcement to aid in immigration enforcement. Kelly will require businesses to use E-Verify, block any attempt to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, and strictly enforce a zero-tolerance policy for sanctuary cities in New Hampshire.

Sam Brown: American sovereignty depends on full control of our borders

Despite what Joe Biden and the extreme left say, there IS a crisis at America's borders. The Senate has the power to reform our broken immigration system through legislation that prioritizes the funding of border security and patrol technologies, the border wall, the enforcement of immigration laws, and the encouragement of legal immigration. American sovereignty depends on full control of our borders.

Kari Lake: Deport & ban anyone entering outside official port of entry

Require the automatic, immediate deportation of individuals caught crossing the border outside of official ports of entry. Further, individuals caught crossing the border outside of a port of entry will be permanently banned from entry into the U.S.

James Craig: Large-scale migration at Mexican border is an invasion

Over the course of 2022, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered 2.2 million people crossing the border illegally. Many of those migrants crossing the border illegally are military-age males. From a policy standpoint, we need to call this large-scale migration what it really is, an invasion. That invasion starts at the Mexican border. America needs to take a firmer stance on the Mexican government's failure to contain the migrant crisis.

Angela Alsobrooks: Pro reform including pathway for citizenship for those here

If elected to the Senate, Angela will be a strong advocate for comprehensive immigration reform to mend the broken immigration system. This reform will include creating a pathway to citizenship for those already living and working in the United States. Additionally, Angela will fervently support initiatives such as The American Dream and Promise Act, aimed at safeguarding the rights and future of DREAMers and TPS recipients.

Brad Wilson: Stop illegals, drugs, and terrorists coming into our country

Brad will work to end Biden's open border policies and stop the flow of illegals, drugs and terrorists coming into our country.

Hold drug cartels and human smugglers accountable for their crimes.

Eric Hovde: Our laws need to be enforced and our borders strengthened

We have always been a nation of immigrants, but the American Dream should be pursued legally through the appropriate channels. The Biden-Baldwin open border policy is fueling a crisis on our southern border and many people have lost their lives because of it. Our laws need to be enforced and our borders strengthened if we want to keep our streets safe and protect the lives of U.S. citizens and migrants.

Trent Staggs: American hating globalists support illegal immigration

Every country enforces border security and travel of non-citizens. Americans have been so kind-hearted for so long that the idea of enforcing our own laws has become controversial. A sensible immigration policy is not what the enemies of freedom want. The globalists who hate America have made it clear that illegal immigration is the way they'll do it. When the bad guys tell you what their evil plan is, you should probably pay attention.

Hung Cao: What is happening at our southern border is an invasion

What is happening at our southern border with Mexico is an invasion. We are seeing military-aged males from countries like China, Yemen, Somalia, and Haiti cross our border from Mexico. Those men didn't walk to Mexico, to walk into our country from there. As Senator, I will stop it. We will build the wall, we will secure the border through advanced technology, we will support the Border Patrol and border states, and we will repel this invasion.

Mark Lamb: We need to return to Trump-era policies, finish the Wall

America must regain operational control of the Southern Border and enforce our immigration laws. We need to return to Trump-era policies, finish the Wall, and reinstate "Remain in Mexico." Allowing unrestricted illegal immigration is unfair to legal immigrants who played by the rules and waited in line. America needs a return to sanity with a merit-based immigration system that upholds the rule of law.

Nella Domenici: Erect physical barriers; reinstate "Remain in Mexico"

We must immediately secure our border. We must adequately fund the Border Patrol. We must erect physical barriers and provide the Border Patrol with the state of the art equipment and technology. We must reinstate "Remain in Mexico," end catch and release, and end the abuse of the asylum process. As a nation of immigrants, we understand the contributions and value of immigration. But immigrants must follow our laws and the legal immigration process.

Royce White: Open borders in conflict with the value of my citizenship

I love my nation, the United States of America. Globalists seek to dominate or destroy all nations through the international merger of the military, media, and medical global industries, big tech, and the global banks--into a system of authoritarian control. Open borders and the value of my citizenship are intentionally in conflict. I seek, by all peaceful and legitimate means, the increased value of every American's citizenship.

Ty Pinkins: We need reform providing a reasonable path to citizenship

We need comprehensive immigration reform that fixes a broken immigration system, keeps our nation safe, and provides a reasonable path to citizenship, particularly those fleeing oppression in their countries of origin, whether that oppression be based on politics, religion, race, or sexuality.

While we do agree that those who seek to immigrate to the US should follow our laws and procedures, we do not believe that cruelty [towards immigrants] is in any way just.

    I will support legislation that:
  1. Decriminalizes migration and refocuses enforcement on serious criminal activity--people who want to work and become Americans should not be treated as criminals, but we should be able to deport more quickly anyone who comes here and abuses our laws and citizens.
  2. Provides rights and due process in our immigration courts, eliminates expedited removal, and ensures due process to all.

    Supports legal immigration and establishes a fair and achievable path to citizenship.

Dan Osborn: Illegal immigration is detrimental to every American worker

Legal immigration helped build this country and is critical to Nebraska's economy. Illegal immigration creates a pool of cheap labor with no rights and is detrimental to every American worker. As a Senator, I won't just talk about securing the border: as an independent, I'll be uniquely positioned to bring together a majority to get it done.

Mike Sapraicone: Secure our border; stop the tidal wave of illegal immigrants

Mike Sapraicone will secure our border and stop the tidal wave of illegal immigrants and deadly fentanyl pouring across the southern border. Through the Biden Administration's open borders policies, the number of undocumented immigrant border crossings exceeded 2.75 million in 2022--exceeding the previous record by more than 1 million. In FY 2023, US Customs and Border Protection seized over 43,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border, which is enough to kill 10 billion people.

Jim Marchant: The border, both North and South, needs to be shut down

America welcomes immigrants. However, it must be done legally, and the numbers need to be controlled. Currently, the border, both North and South, needs to be shut down, illegal aliens need to be deported, and we need to permanently secure this nation. WE DO NOT NEED ANYMORE BORDER POLICIES. We only need to enforce the laws we have had on the books for decades, which worked adequately until Joe Biden became president.

John Deaton: Right to shelter makes MA Ground Zero in migrant crisis

Today, our country faces an unprecedented crisis at our southern border. MA guarantees a right to shelter to the homeless, and because of that law enacted in 1983, the Commonwealth has become Ground Zero in the migrant crisis. In fact, during the summer of 2023, Democratic Governor Maura Healey declared the Commonwealth in a state of emergency, caused by the inflow of illegal migrants. The crisis has gotten so bad that the Governor even asked the public to open their homes to help house undocumented, unknown individuals from around the world, including from regions where hatred for America and Democracy are fostered.

I believe most of the undocumented migrants are good people, desiring a better life. But even if only a small percentage of people illegally entering America have bad intentions, our national security is at risk. Simply put, the status quo is unsustainable, undermines legal immigration, and it will cost MA taxpayers billions of dollars.

Laphonza Butler: Fair Day for Kids in Court: lawyers for unaccompanied kids

As a member of both committees of jurisdiction for immigration issues: Judiciary Committee and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Senator Butler is focused on repairing our immigration system. Her priorities include creating a pathway to citizenship for those who came to the U.S. as children, as well as clearing the backlog of legal immigrants who have been waiting years for green cards. One of the first bills she sponsored as a U.S. Senator was the Fair Day for Kids in Court Act, which provides counsel for unaccompanied children. She will continue to work to improve the immigration system, especially for immigrant children.

Valerie McCray: Stop using immigration as a scapegoat for America's problems

We must stop using immigration as a scapegoat for America's problems. When I'm in office, I will focus on comprehensive immigration reform legislation and will work to push bipartisan efforts without watering down our democratic values. I will push for expedited work permits for those already here because we have to speed up the process. I will push for a fairer and more efficient process for asylum claims and additional immigrant visas for families and workers.
