Bo believes that immigrants have long been the heartbeat of American innovation. Bo’s grandparents were immigrants who fled Europe in the wake of WWII and the rise of communism. He feels that America is a beacon of freedom and has a responsibility to provide protection to all those who are fleeing tyrannical governments in search of a better place to raise their families. The need for immigration reform is greater than ever. America is facing a labor shortage which is hamstringing economic growth. Small business owners are closing their doors to customers not because of a lack of demand, but because they lack employees. Immigrants are the solution to labor shortages and will provide billions of additional dollars in taxes which will be used to fund our social safety net. We must create a system that will allow immigrants from everywhere to have a legal and efficient path into America that also does not jeopardize our nation’s security. This means increasing funding to our immigration processing agencies, creating safer practices within our immigration enforcement on the border, and providing transportation into the country for those seeking work.
