Jerry Torres

Jerry grew up in a military family during which his father was reassigned to several US Air Force bases from New York to Washington state, Florida, and three locations in between. He worked throughout his elementary, junior high, and high school years to supplement his family's income, working as a construction laborer and framer, garbageman, dishwasher, and newspaper delivery boy, and bucked hay bales on ranches and dug worms to sell to fishermen.

We must now protect our nation’s borders against illegal immigration for our personal safety, and for the safety of our family, friends, schools, neighborhoods, and communities. We must enforce immigration law and make certain that all immigrants enter our nation legally, just as the 50 million legal immigrants did who now call the United States of America their home.
