Stop cartels from smuggling drugs and people across the border
Make border security policies permanent, whoever is president
Treat people at the border with dignity
“Our goal as a country should be to have a secure border – a policy that should not change based on what president or party is in charge – and we have to go after the violent criminals that are here illegally and get them out of our country.”
“I believe we can secure the border without destroying families and our local economy in the process. We can more effectively attack the flow of fentanyl and other cartel driven drug supply lines into our country.”

“The bottom line is, we need an immigration system that’s tough but fair, and works for the Valley and South Texas as much as it works for the rest of America.”
“We can and should have more vetting hubs in Central America to help bring order to migration as we create a more fair and reasonable path to legalization for those who want to come here to contribute – because American businesses need a reliable workforce.”

Give every child a good education regardless of ZIP code, race or income
“Parents should know their kids are getting a fair shot at success no matter their zip code and that starts with doing right by our teachers and the school system that supports them.”
Lower health care costs, including premiums and out-of-pocket costs
Lower prescription drug prices
“The truth is that today, healthcare costs are crushing families and in rural areas all across the country hospitals are in danger of having to close their doors. We have to rethink how we provide actually affordable healthcare to more people.”
“We also need real leadership not more political rhetoric if we are ever going to succeed in bringing down costs by negotiating better returns for what we spend on healthcare and prescription drugs.”

Expand and streamline work visas to meet labor needs
