Secure Borders
Whether it is the pandemic or terrorists, we face numerous foreign threats. Jo Rae Perkins supports securing our borders to keep us safe. We secure our homes, property, vehicles. Why are the borders of our country left unsecured? Jo Rae welcomes legal immigrants.
Concerned Oregonian
According to the Cato Institute, a think tank which promotes free markets and limited government, undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans. Based on the wording of Perkins’ statement entitled “Immigration,” one could get the impression that undocumented immigrants are more prone to crime, which, according to the Cato Institute, is incorrect. I hope the wording of this statement is clarified to correct the confusion that might result from this factual inconsistency.
