Immigration: Secure, Fair, and True to Our Values
Walter Kirkland understands that we can be a nation of laws and a nation of values. Today, we are failing at both. Families see a chaotic system at the border, a system that’s broken, and a system that targets the wrong people while letting real threats slip through.

Walter’s solution to this problem is simple: restore order, enforce the law, and fix a broken system to make it work for our economy and our communities.

Fix What’s Broken—Accountability and Reform
Walter supports a major reform of our immigration enforcement system to bring transparency, accountability, and respect for civil rights into a system that’s broken today.

Target Real Threats
Walter targets those who pose a real threat to our communities, including violent offenders, human traffickers, and cartel members, not hardworking families who contribute to our communities, our workforce, and our economy.

Secure the Border the Smart Way
Walter understands that border security must be smart, not just strong. This means Walter supports state-of-the-art technology, anti-trafficking efforts, and upgraded ports of entry to stop fentanyl and human trafficking without hindering lawful trade and travel.

Fix the Asylum Backlog
Walter understands that we must fix a broken asylum system by adding more immigration judges, judges’ assistants, and case officers to clear the backlog of asylum claims.

Create Legal Pathways That Work
Walter understands that America’s economy needs talent and hard work to succeed. Walter will make it easier to obtain visas for workers, students, and families so our economy can grow and compete in a global economy.

Walter Kirkland’s vision is clear: a nation of laws, a nation of values, a nation that’s fair to everyone, a nation that’s true to ourselves.
