Rep. Gosar Visits the Border

Statement

Date: March 25, 2011

U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, DDS (AZ-01), along with Senator McCain and Congressmen Flake, Quayle and Schweikert, visited the Arizona-Mexico border this week. Here is a statement from Gosar on the visit to the border:

"This week my colleagues and I personally inspected several ports of entry into Arizona, including rural areas along the border and residential communities. One thing became very clear- the people of Arizona are far from being safe and secure on the border. More troubling is the recent decision by the Administration to unilaterally withdraw the National Guard troops from the border. Although the threat level is increasing, the Administration is decreasing our security efforts. This makes no sense. The personnel on the border are already stretched too thin- we cannot take away this vital resource from our brave men and women who serve and are vigilantly working to keep Arizona safe. "
