Seacoast Online Voter Guide, 2024
"Regulating borders and immigration is by and large a federal issue, and it was disappointing to see former President Trump tank the bipartisan comprehensive legislation to address the issues at the US-Mexico border. We need federal legislation that addresses the humanitarian issues at the border, provides sufficient resources to address substance use disorder driving up the demand for illegal drugs, and allows New Hampshire businesses to meet the workforce needs they are challenged with. These are challenging issues for state level legislators to solve without federal legislation. New Hampshire is also facing a workforce crisis, and we need all the help we can get. Welcoming legal immigrants ensures that we have enough workers to support a strong economy.
"While the majority of the fixes to the immigration system happen at the federal level, in New Hampshire we’ve worked closely with local law enforcement to enact policies that protect our borders and communities without taking authority away from local jurisdictions. Last session, Democrats also proposed legislation providing detailed, clear, and factual data on the northern border to determine the number and frequency of encounters in Coos County and better support law enforcement without needlessly spending taxpayer money.
"I will continue to call for clear data on border crossings and will support legislation that strengthens the relationship between local law enforcement and immigrant communities."
