Reform to Strengthen the Economy"...here are some quotes from those Midwest leaders...
-------------------
“As Mayor of the City of Wichita, I recognize the urgent need for a federal solution to the issue of illegal immigration. This issue has broad social, economic and political importance for our community. The Wichita City Council is on record in support of a federal solution to the problem. Piecemeal efforts by individual states or communities will only exacerbate the problem. Only the federal government can fix what's wrong with the immigration system. Any federal solution should acknowledge the economic impact of the current labor force and the need for a consistent, fair and humanitarian outcome.”

Wichita, Kansas Mayor Carl Brewer

“Whether we’re talking about our Fore Fathers or Ellis Island, America has a long tradition of people coming to this nation in order find a better life. We need comprehensive reform to our immigration policies which should honor the hard work of those here now, as well as the individuals who came before us, because we are a nation of immigrants. Considering the fact that, unless you are Native American, we are all immigrants, it is time to move forward and reform the immigration policies that have been holding back individuals that want to be productive, taxpaying citizens.”

Racine, Wisconsin Mayor John Dickert

“This is a country that celebrates diversity. It’s time for us to accept the reality that millions of hard working immigrants are contributing to the progress and growth of our nation. We need to find a better way to welcome them.”

Cincinnati, Ohio Mayor Mark Mallory

“As Mayor of Allentown I applaud the President's proposal to provide comprehensive reform to our nation's broken immigration system. I believe that these proposals provide a framework that will increase our nation's economic competitiveness and help communities like Allentown to grow, all while providing a pathway to legally recognize our neighbors currently living in the shadows who have been contributing to their local economies for years. Allentown, like the rest of our nation, was built on the shoulders of immigrants. The President's proposals provide hope that this proud and uniquely American tradition will continue, strengthening our city for generations to come.”

Allentown, Pennsylvania Mayor Ed Pawlowski

Presidents from both parties (e.g. Reagan and Obama) support the goal of passing Congressional legislation to fix our Immigration and Border Protection problems...even Trump called for the very same thing in 2019...Let's Do This!
