Immigration policies must balance compassion with security. As a 2026 gubernatorial candidate, I will prioritize Wyoming families’ safety, advocate for secure borders, and ensure that immigration policies promote economic stability.
May we start here: James 5:14-15 “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
Poorly managed immigration policies can lead to social and economic instability, which we are currently experiencing.
Thoughtful, balanced policies which we hope to see from the Trump Administration 2.0 will ensure a future where everyone can succeed and contribute positively to society.
Those who come to the U.S. with a desire to work hard, integrate into society, and contribute to its economic growth are invaluable assets to our nation. Immigrants often bring:
Entrepreneurial Spirit: Immigrants have a long history of creating wealth and driving innovation. From starting small businesses to founding major companies, their entrepreneurial efforts generate jobs and stimulate economic growth.
Skilled Labor: Many immigrants possess specialized skills that fill critical gaps in the workforce, supporting industries like technology, healthcare, construction, and agriculture.
Cultural Diversity: By sharing their unique perspectives, traditions, and creativity, immigrants enrich our culture and foster innovation.
It’s equally important to create systems that support immigrants in successfully integrating into American life. Policies should:
Promote Language and Cultural Education: Providing resources for language acquisition and cultural orientation helps immigrants adapt more quickly and contribute effectively.
Streamline Legal Pathways: A clear and efficient legal immigration process ensures that those with the skills and motivation to contribute can do so without unnecessary hurdles.
Encourage Civic Engagement: Supporting pathways to citizenship and encouraging community involvement helps immigrants become active participants in society.
While welcoming contributors, it’s vital to balance this with secure borders and a fair, lawful immigration system. By doing so, we honor the rule of law while celebrating the opportunities and innovation that immigrants bring to the nation.
Immigrants who seek to create wealth, provide jobs, and integrate into society not only benefit themselves but also strengthen the social and economic fabric of the United States. Embracing their contributions ensures that America remains a land of opportunity while upholding its core values of freedom, justice, and community.
