Chuck Boyce on Immigration

 

 


Supports border wall & merit-based system

On immigration, Boyce said the United States "absolutely" needs to have secure borders. "We need to make sure we understand who is coming into our country, and we need to have a merit-based system," he said.

Boyce said he supports President Donald Trump's proposed border wall, as well as "21st-century solutions." He said the wall is going to "cost a lot of money and it's going to take a lot of time, and it's a 6th-century solution to a 21st-century problem."

Boyce also said he believes it is important that immigrants who are here "are going to assimilate into our culture and make sure that they are going to be contributing members of our society."

Truono said, "Let's just be honest-- our immigration system is broken. It takes far too long for people to come into this country legally." He called the issue "a can that Congress has kicked down the road" and said he supports currently proposed comprehensive immigration legislation.

Comprehensive reform including a path to citizenship

Our country has long served as a shining city on a hill. For centuries, people from all over the world have flocked to this land in search of religious freedom, economic opportunity, and liberty. I will actively support comprehensive immigration reform that secures our border, decreases illegal immigration and opens a fair legal process that allows a path to citizenship for law abiding permanent resident immigrants who have been here and lived by our laws and contributed to our society.

We must never forget that America is a country built by immigrants with laws that must be upheld to maintain order. I will always be a proponent of legal immigration in which all immigrants striving to achieve the American Dream know that they can come here only through the legal process by our laws set in place.
