"Our nation, like any other, has the right and responsibility to secure its borders. We must be able to know who is coming in and out of our country, and we must insist all border traffic be legal.

"To do this effectively, our immigration system must be modernized. We need the capability to track visa holders who overstay, making-up nearly half of the undocumented population in America. Our nation is in need of an expanded guest worker program that will help fill the jobs Americans are not seeking, especially in agriculture. And while we must demand accountability from those who enter our country illegally, we should establish an earned path to legalization for those who have abided by our laws and contributed to our economy, especially those who were brought to the country as minors by their parents. These young people have gown up in this, the country they love, and should be granted an opportunity to become Americans."

- Carlos Curbelo

Curbelo believes we need to tighten borders and limit immigrants.

"As a Hispanic immigrant and first-generation American, Debbie knows firsthand the challenges immigrants face in this country. Just like millions of other families, Debbie’s family came to this country seeking opportunities to better their lives. It is with this compassion that Debbie believes we need to fix our broken immigration system, replacing it with an accountable system that includes an expedited path to citizenship for DREAMers and their families. Bringing eleven million hard-working immigrants out of the shadows and into our system will only strengthen our great nation."

- Debbie Mucarsel Powell

Debbie believes we should open the borders and fix our broken immigration system.

"As I talk with families in South Florida, what I hear over and over again is that they’re struggling to make ends meet. The cost of living keeps rising, but wages aren’t keeping up. We don’t need more tax breaks for billionaires, or for corporations that ship jobs overseas. We need a tax system that helps small businesses and hard-working people get ahead."

- Debbie Mucarsel Powell

"Like everyone in our country, I want a quality health care system at an affordable cost. Unfortunately, the Affordable Care Act hasn’t fulfilled its promise to achieve this. Instead, it has increased the cost of health care for millions of Americans and is threatening our economic stability as health care spending continues to grow. It should come as no surprise that a law written by big insurance companies, big hospitals chains, and others who profit from the health care system; that contains burdensome taxes, raising premiums for all Americans and limiting plan options; a law that considers 30 hours a full workweek, and that cuts funding for Medicare is, at best, deeply flawed."

Curbelo: Wants to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Curbelo previously voted to repeal the act. THIS ALIGNS WITH THE PARTY PLATFORM.

"If you have diabetes, asthma, cancer, or any other pre-existing condition, you deserve affordable, quality healthcare, and you deserve to be protected from insurance companies that would deny you coverage.
