|- parents have the right to make the choice, whether or not to Covid vaccinate their kids as long as they have been vaccinated with the already required vaccinations for school. The kids shouldn’t have to be masked. Neither should their parents.
- We have to secure the Southern Border. It’s so out of control, that it’s super dangerous. Future Americans need to take the same $10,000-$15,000 and save it to spend in the US when they get approved for their visas. No one needs to walk through the Rio Grande.
- Crime control. We have to be tougher on crime so less people will get arrested and go to prison.
