I am laser-focused on doing whatever it will take to secure the border and stop giving our hard-earned tax dollars to illegal aliens who shouldn't even be here.
In 2012, I worked with Marylanders all across the state to gather 10's of thousands of signatures in an effort to stop a bill that would pay 2/3 of the college costs for illegal aliens. Now, illegal aliens are stealing full scholarships from legal Maryland residents, and when they graduate they still can't work here legally.
The Heritage Foundation indicates that, "It is impossible to put a price tag on the devastation to families and communities that crimes perpetrated by illegal aliens bring. In 2022 alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested 1,142 illegal aliens who were convicted of assault, battery, or domestic violence; 1,614 who were convicted of driving under the influence; and 2,239 who were convicted of drug possession and trafficking."

Thanks to our open and porous border, over 71,000 (1) Americans died from fentanyl in 2021 alone.
The open border is leading to the human horrors of human trafficking. For a sobering movie on the topic, I recommend the "Sound of Freedom." Unbelievable that our country has no control of our border and is allowing human trafficking to go unchecked.
The Biden Administration is intentionally defying our existing laws and is radically changing our culture so that EVERY U.S. city is now a border city. Crime is increasing across the country. In Montgomery County, car jackings rose by 28.6% in 2023 from 2022 and auto thefts rose by 131% (2). People keep literally dying from fentanyl and gang violence all as a result of an open border.
Would it be enough to say that I am angry? No. I am furious. We must win in 2024 to secure our border for our families and the future survival of our way of life as we know it.

I believe we can and must do better for our country and our families. Common-sense and the American values of individual responsibility, equality, and opportunity for all must prevail.
The work has started. You can volunteer. You can donate. You can pray. We can win this seat in November, and I hope you'll join me. There's no time to waste.
For our country,
Neil C. Parrott
