Issue Position: Secure Borders

Issue Position

Whether your primary concern is national security, wasteful spending, education, healthcare, or our criminal justice system, the most important thing we can do is to secure our borders. The cost of illegal immigration in Arizona is nearly 2 billion dollars a year, and you, the taxpayer, are paying the bill. We must eliminate "sanctuary city" policies that encourage people to cross our borders illegally, and we must ensure that only those legally eligible are receiving government benefits and assistance. I truly believe that border security equals national security. We live in a dangerous era where men with evil ideologies seek to destroy our way of life. Terrorism is a very real threat, and our porous border provides easy access to criminals who would seek to do us harm. A border secured using both technology and manpower would also help to stop the flow of weapons and drugs, as well as end human trafficking.
