Immigration

Wade voted against every attempt to give illegal immigrants benefits, including in-state tuition at state colleges and universities.  He believes in the rule of law and that those who break our laws by illegally entering this country deserve no amnesty. Concerned about the security of our porous borders and the nation at large, Wade worked to pass a critically important bill to prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining driver’s licenses in Maryland.

Wade sponsored measures to make English the official language of Maryland, believing that no one—including legal immigrants themselves—benefits from an inability to speak the main language of the American people since the inception of this country.
