John Deaton on Immigration

 

 


Expand legal immigration; against illegal immigration

Warren: Republicans fought for comprehensive immigration reform back in 2019. I voted for the bill, and we got enough people together to do comprehensive immigration reform, and what happened? It went over to the house and extremist Republicans said we want to keep this as an election issue. Exactly what Donald Trump did in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2020 two, and 2024.

Deaton: They do not need a senator reminiscing about some bill that did not actually happen to get passed in 2013. The bottom line for everybody out there is Senator Warren has the same exact position as Donald Trump, do nothing. The bill was not perfect. I can assure you of that. I want to see legal immigration expanded more and have zero tolerance for illegal immigration.

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.
