🔵 Border Security & Common-Sense Solutions 🔵
Let’s talk border security and immigration reform—without fearmongering.
📊 Northern vs. Southern Border
Northern Border: ~199,000 encounters
Southern Border: Over 2 million (Source: Stars and Stripes)
While there are issues at the northern border, they’re far less severe than at the southern border. Plus, we already have some of the tightest security measures in place with Canada.
💡 What Matters to Families in NY-21?
Families here are focused on making ends meet, paying for college, and putting food on the table—not border stats.
We need solutions that secure our borders while addressing labor shortages, inflation, and economic stability:
✔️ Pathways to citizenship for workers who meet criteria like paying taxes.
✔️ Increased tech and infrastructure (like drones & surveillance).
✔️ More border agents with better resources.
✔️ Streamlined legal immigration processes.
It’s about balancing security and opportunity for a stronger, safer district.
