Issue Position: Securing our Nation's Borders

Issue Position

In July 2010 I physically toured parts of the Arizona/Mexico border and even had the pleasure to meet with then Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever to discuss the Border. I also met with third generation ranchers who have been adversely affected by illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The locals want a stronger presence of Border Patrol, unmanned drones and more strategic fencing. Together, we also need to ensure we have the best functioning E-Verify system.
Our legal immigration system has been broken for decades. Once elected to the Arizona Legislature I will work with our Congressional delegation to find ways to end chain migration. In order to move forward with a better legal immigration system we must restore a work-based immigration system by limiting preferences to spouses and minor children.
