Congressman-elect David Young says President Obama’s plans for immigration reform do not address what he says is the most important issue. The Republican who is preparing to represent the third district, was asked his definition of securing the border. Some Republicans say they may have to shut down the government to stop the president’s actions on immigration, Young is not ready to do that and says he has talked with the Latino community in his district about the issue. On other issues, Young says he wants to see spending and tax bills come forward, and he wants to see the Keystone pipeline approved. He also expects with the House and Senate both now controlled by Republicans, that they will try to repeal Obamacare. Young says there are some things he would like to keep in the federal health care law, such as making sure that people with pre-existing conditions can stay on insurance, and allowing kids to stay on their parent’s health care plan up to the age of 26.
