2024 WY Senate race: on Immigration


Reid Rasner: Build the wall, look at what deportation looks like

Rasner feels very strongly about securing the border, contending that a border wall needs to be built. "It is a function of our federal government to defend our borders," Rasner said. "We need to have a military presence at the wall. We have to look at what deportation looks like. We have laws in place for a legal way for people to come into the country. We need to start enforcing those laws." According to Rasner, illegal immigrants are enjoying benefits that are reserved for American citizens.

Scott Morrow: Supported bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform

Q: Do you support increasing security along the southern US border?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support requiring immigrants to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship?

A: No. The parties, under the direction of a very conservative Senator named James Lankford, wrote a fantastic first step immigration policy that would have exponentially increases border guards and asylum judges. The convicted felon [Trump] was successful in killing this bipartisan legislation. It is morally bankrupt to send Dreamers back to their country of origin when they have lived here their entire lives and many times do not even speak the language of the country their parents brought them from. To tear non citizen spouses away from their American citizen families is cruel and yet another example of the out of control moral bankruptcy of certain parties in the USA.
