  • "The Biden administration has suspended immigration enforcement. The influx of illegal aliens crossing the border poses a threat to public safety, drains the treasury, and burdens schools and hospitals. The Biden administration’s policies have been criticized for creating a sanctuary for dangerous criminal aliens. Dan Cox will vote to restore the Remain in Mexico policy, end catch-and-release, eliminate asylum fraud, defend the right of States to close and protect their borders and fund the deportation of illegal aliens on Day One after I am sworn in. Dan Cox will support a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes American labor and values. The Open Border is allowing the influx of deadly drugs, opioids, and fentanyl into the country, and is facilitating the largest child, sex and human trafficking industry in the world. Dan Cox will vote and fight to end this travesty and is the only candidate in the race who has passed Legislation to combat international sex trafficking during his time in the Maryland legislature, securing a unanimous Floor vote in its passage.
