Ray believes that a nation without borders is not a nation—a principle essential to sovereignty and the rule of law. In Congress, he will champion secure borders and enforce immigration laws rigorously, ensuring all who seek to enter our country do so legally.
The Biden Administration’s open-border policies severely damaged national security, strained infrastructure, depressed wages for American workers, and burdened our economy through unchecked illegal immigration.
Ray supports a pragmatic, enforcement-first approach modeled on the Trump Administration’s successful policies, which have delivered historic lows in illegal crossings—plummeting to the lowest levels in over 50 years, with zero interior releases for months and massive reductions in encounters.
Our border policies must prioritize strict enforcement to uphold national sovereignty while offering lawful pathways for those genuinely seeking opportunity or refuge. Ray will back measures to curb unlawful entries at the border and address visa overstays, protecting American communities and restoring order.

IMMIGRATION
With a combination of pragmatism and understanding I will seek a solution that ensures our national security and that those who want to come to the United States for a better life have that opportunity.
Addressing immigration issues requires a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to the problem. We must respect the rule of law and national security first. Economic, social, and humanitarian factors will be considered as we uphold the principles of justice and compassion.
Policies that bring families together and offer employment opportunities are of primary importance. Streamlining the bureaucratic processes involved in legal immigration will create a more efficient immigration system that offers equal opportunities to everyone seeking to come to the USA. We must effectively manage border crossings.
A major goal of the policies is to reduce unlawful immigration at the border. At the same time, we must be aware of and manage individuals who arrive in the United States legally and overstay their visas.
A thoughtful approach to immigration policy will benefit legal immigrants and enrich the nation.

NATIONAL DEFENSE
National Defense includes ensuring the United States has the resources to support essential defense, industrial, and military emergency requirements to protect citizens and the economy from foreign military or economic threats. Ray takes a firm stance on "America First" policies to ensure our defense. We can be of no help to our Allies if we do not first ensure our safety.
MILITARY & VETERANS
Ensuring the mental and physical health of our active military and veterans is key to National Security. We must continue to invest in programs to ensure our military personnel and veterans are well taken care of.
