2024 Student Voter's Guide

8  Immigration: This particular issue needs to be addressed, and heavily discussed among politicians, lobbyists, and congressmen alike. We have Democrats that have opened up our borders to an unsafe environment. This is also leading to the economic decline that many Americans and future Americans who are going through the legal process for citizenship are paying the price for. Jonathan Chavez is pushing for change, and is doing everything they can to see a brighter future. Learn more and join the cause today.  Abortion: information not available.

District 14 Marjorie Taylor Greene (R)* – Business Owner, https://www.mtgforamerica.com/  Inflation: information not available.  Immigration: A country without borders is not a nation. Biden and the Democrats have left our Southern Border open like Swiss cheese; they advocate for the defunding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement; refuse to enforce our immigration laws; tied the hands of the United States Border Patrol; supported the repeal of Title 42; empower the drug cartels; ignore human trafficking and forced child labor; and have allowed the free flow of Chinese-made, Mexican Cartel imported fentanyl to poison America’s youth and the vulnerable. Marjorie believes it is time for Congress to prioritize America’s border over Ukraine’s. MTG supports finishing the wall on our Southern Border; abolishing sanctuary cities at the federal level; deporting illegal aliens jailed in federal and state prisons across America; and declaring war on the cartels engaged in human trafficking and the deadly poisoning of millions of Americans with fentanyl  Abortion: Marjorie believes all lives matter. Every life is precious – period. MTG strongly agrees that life begins at inception; adamantly supports the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, leaving abortion up to individual states; has an A+ rating from the Susan B. Anthony List and Students for Life Action for supporting the unborn; and has received a 100% score from the National Right to Life. Unborn children should not be condemned to a painful death for being “inconvenient.” Marjorie will fight to end abortion-on-demand and stop taxpayer funding of abortion. Shawn Harris (D) – Farmer, https://www.shawnforgeorgia.com/  Inflation: Support anti-price-gouging legislation to keep profitable companies for arbitrarily raising prices on captive customers.  Immigration: Congress should do its job and fix our broken immigration laws to make sure our border is fully protected and we have a workable legal immigration system that serves the needs of American farmers, workers and businesses. o Congress should expand asylum processing and tighten standards to stop the catch-and-release process that allows migrants into our country with no oversight or vetting. o We must increase screening capacity at our ports and make emergency narcan available to prevent fentanyl and other opioids from killing Americans.  Abortion: When it comes to abortion, I support restoring the protections and restrictions we had under Roe v Wade. Politicians need to respect Americans’ freedom to make our own decisions about our own families.
