California GOP Candidate for Senate: "We need workable, long-term immigration solutions; mass deportation is not the answer."

 

 

In California, former professional baseball player Steve Garvey is the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate. facing off against Democratic nominee Adam Schiff.  Garvey has published an op-ed in La Opinion Los Angeles entitled We need workable, long-term immigration solutions; mass deportation is not the answer.  the commentary does not support the mass deportation campaign embraced by former President Donald Trump.  However, Garvey does support more border enforcement officers and securing the borders in other ways.  

From the op-ed:

llegal immigration is also blatantly unfair to the millions of hard-working immigrants who came to the United States legally and now call California home.

However, the mass deportation of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in our country is not a realistic solution. Fixing the immigration issue is more complex.

Right now, the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency is severely understaffed. The agency is failing to hire border patrol agents fast enough to replace thousands of soon-to-be retirees...

...As a United States Senator, I will take a comprehensive approach to resolving our country’s immigration issues. But “mass deportation now” as some use as a rallying cry, is not realistic in any way.
