Immigration

1. Immigrants from many faiths and cultures have merged to make America great. However, illegal immigration is now out of control and needs to be addressed. Our priority should be to secure the border and control the visa program. Once the border is secured, then we need to deal with those illegal immigrants in the United States. Those that have been in the United States long term should after paying a fine, be able to get in line and wait their turn with other immigrants and earn a path to citizenship.
- "Have to secure the border before any real immigration policy. Remember Reagan amnesty did not work." https://twitter.com/drwright4congr1/status/955790477751607296 (twitter.com) "[...] it is neither practical nor ethical to insist now on a mass deportation of an estimated 11 million individuals. [â?¦] we address those already in the United States by charging a fine and allowing them a path to citizenship." http://drwright4congress.com/on-the-issues/u-s-immigration/ (drwright4congress.com) "Immigrants from many faiths and cultures have merged to make America great.

Somehow it doesnâ??t seem fair to deport them when for years we encouraged them to stay by looking the other way and proving services. My suggestion is to offer a Residency Status to noncitizens including the DACA immigrants who are law abiding and self-sufficient â?? not on welfare. This is not citizenship. As Resident Status they must pay their fair share of taxes, are not eligible for welfare and cannot vote. Those here undocumented will have 12 months to register for Resident Status. If they do not qualify for Residency or just fail to register, they must return to their home country or face deportation. Those with Resident Status will have the option to apply for citizenship, but must go to the back of the line behind others who are in the process of obtaining U.S. citizenship â?? no "cutting" the line." https://drwrightforcongress.com/on-the-issues/immigration/ (drwrightforcongress.com)
