| Foreign Policy International Interaction | For | Buzz wants to orient US foreign policy away from china. source: https://buzz4congress.com/policy-platform/. According to buzz: After COVID-19, no one can claim ignorance on the dangers of being dependent on China. For years, our politicians have allowed our manufacturing to be shipped off to China. Rather than seeing “Made In China” on our products, I want to start seeing “Made In America” once again. There is absolutely no reason that China should be producing any of our medical equipment or pharmaceuticals. Whereas many considered this simply a nuisance, it is a national security threat and must be treated as such. We must work hard to combat the Chinese Communist influence on the world and especially in this nation. If we do not address this now, we may not have the same chance to do it in twenty years. The can cannot be kicked down the road another day. |

| Border Control | For | Buzzz is for stricter border controls. source:https://buzz4congress.com/policy-platform/. According to Buzz: "Firstly, I support a border wall on the US-Mexico border. This is a matter of national security. The flow of illegal immigration must be cut off before any meaningful reforms can be done. Second, a merit-based immigration system is necessary. We want the best of the best in America. We want the world’s innovations to be created here. Our northern neighbor, Canada, has a great points-system in place as does Australia. No immigrant should be admitted to the country that stands to become a burden on the system. We need to focus our resources on our citizens first. Third, there are too many visas. Every letter of the alphabet has a visa category attached to it. The process is arcane. We need to re-evaluate the various visas and eliminate ones that are out-of-date and frequently abused – such as the diversity visa lottery. Fourth, people who are coming to this country as a spouse should not have to wait over two years for their visas to process. Given modern-day technology, the waiting time should be no more than 120 days. This would ensure that the process is followed as intended, rather than many couples going through illegal methods to speed up their process." |
