Our relationship is important, as is our relationships with other nations. The relationship between Israel and the United States stems from shared values and interests, our commitment to democracy, economic prosperity, and regional security.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

We have a huge problem at the Southern Border, and it affects our economy, drug traffic, and a threat to our workforce and social services. We must have stronger polices from the federal government that secures our borders, and those coming into the US must do so via legal channels.

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
