Ron Simmons for U.S. House of Representatives

Independent Candidate, New Mexico District 3

IMMIGRATION           I support: 

  • slowing illegal migration at the U.S. border before implementing any program for legalization of undocumented immigrants
  • enforcing penalties against employers who hire undocumented workers      
  • further increasing Border Patrol agents and surveillance at the border, and developing a shared U.S.-Mexico-Canada  I.D. system
  • investing in an economic development program between the U.S. and Mexico, rather than a wall at the  U.S.-Mexico border
  • bringing the undocumented immigrant population in the U.S. into legal status with the following steps:     1. fees and fines high enough to pay for the increased personnel needed to greatly expedite processing     2. setting two dates for immigrants: one, a qualifying date; the other, a deadline for coming forward to enroll in a new guest worker program or apply for permanent residence     3. giving  permanent resident applicants a first-come, first-served place in line, but following those now in line legally
