Issue Position: Securing the Border to Stop Illegal Immigration

Issue Position

We need the strongest border security possible to protect us from those that would do us harm, traffic in humans, and traffic in drugs. I support whatever means necessary to lock down our southern border whether that means a wall or fence, surveillance technology, armed protection, or a combination of all three. It is imperative that we have a secure border. Illegal immigration impacts our state budget in many ways: our hospitals, education system, community safety, and more. We must, for the safety, protection, and prosperity of our citizens, stop illegal immigration. We're a land of laws, and that includes laws which dictate an orderly process by which people can enter our country. No one, no matter their circumstance, can be allowed to disobey the law. I strongly support the ban on sanctuary cities.
