Congressman Greg Landsman, representing Ohio’s 1st District since 2023, regularly addresses key issues through his social media posts. Recently, he shared his views on immigration policy via a series of tweets on April 21, 2025. A Cincinnati native born in 1976, Congressman Landsman has frequently been vocal on the need for a humane and effective approach to this contentious topic.

In his first tweet, Landsman criticized the previous administration's immigration policies, asserting that "The cruelty, chaos, and recklessness of the Trump Administration’s actions and rhetoric towards immigrants will not make Americans safer or fix our broken immigration system. It will only lead to more pain and unrest."

In a subsequent tweet, he highlighted the need for a balanced approach, emphasizing that "We have to secure our border and reform our immigration system, but we have to do it in a humane, orderly, and legal way...."

Furthering his argument, Landsman proposed constructive reforms to address the challenges within the immigration framework. He stated the importance of specific improvements, including "improv[ing] our asylum process, create more pathways for legal citizenship, expand protections for DACA recipients and Dreamers, increase our number of immigration judges, and send more resources to the border." He suggested these changes offer "a compelling alternative to Trump’s cruel and reckless" strategies.

Landsman, residing in Cincinnati with a BA degree from Ohio University, urged a focus on humane immigration reform.
