Issue Position: Illegal Immigration

Issue Position

Illegal immigration is costing Massachusetts taxpayers nearly $2 billion annually on taxpayers funded benefits for those who are breaking the rules. Marc supports strong reforms to deal with the issue of illegal immigration including:

Withholding funding to Sanctuary Cities
Creating stronger penalties for those caught making fake IDs
Requiring proof of citizenship in order to receive state and local services
Increasing punitive penalties for knowingly hiring illegal workers
Requiring the courts to verify the citizenship of any individual appearing in a state court
Prohibiting legal state residents from being bypassed on public housing lists in favor illegal immigrants
