Immigration & Border
Supports cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities and emphasizes removing criminal noncitizens from the community, while also expressing support for immigration reform measures that provide pathways for some long-resident undocumented immigrants to work (the DIGNIDAD/Dignity Act).
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate emphasizes restoring public safety primarily by supporting law enforcement and strengthening national and community security; his campaign frames these policies within a conservative, Reagan-style agenda. There are no explicit proposals on assault-weapon bans, universal background checks, or red-flag laws on the campaign’s policy pages.
