Jane Timken: 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.

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.

Matt Dolan: 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.
