As congressional candidates gear up for the 2026 midterm primary elections, one candidate who might have to answer for his past position on illegal immigration is Republican congressional candidate and former State Representative George Moraitis (R). Moraitis is running on immigration issues such as securing the nation’s borders, backing border patrol, removing undocumented individuals, and enforcing immigration laws;. Despite the population makeup, Republican candidates understand the appeal of advocating for immigration issues and have continued to address it throughout the 2026 Midterm Election cycle. According to iVoter Guide, Moraitis does support eliminating the Department of Education, giving states more control. Does Moraitis’ apparent silence on the matter signal conditional support for the administration’s mission to combat illegal immigration?
