"Growing up in Royal Palm Beach, I watched our community change — and not always for the better. As the son of legal immigrants who came to this country the right way and built their own American story through hard work and sacrifice, I have a deeply personal stake in this issue. I've seen my own family navigate the legal process with dignity and pride — which is exactly why I am offended by those who overstay their visas or wish to endanger our lives by crossing our porous border. Washington has failed us for decades. I won't."
— Steve Avila, FL-22 Candidate for U.S. Congress
Finish the Wall
Physical barriers work. I support completing and reinforcing our border infrastructure — not as a symbol, but as a proven tool for reducing illegal crossings.
End Catch & Release
People who cross illegally should not be released into our communities to await hearings they never show up to. We need strict detention and rapid deportation.
Support Our Border Agents
The men and women on the front lines need more resources, better pay, and the legal backing to do their jobs. I will fight for them in Congress.
Fix Legal Immigration
My family's story is one of hard work and playing by the rules. Legal immigration made America great — we must protect that pathway while closing the one that bypasses it.
FL-22 deserves a representative who grew up here, knows our neighborhoods, and will fight to keep them safe. That's exactly what I'll do.
