Keep lawful trade and travel moving at the border
“As a mom raising an elementary schooler in Southern Arizona, I want every child to grow up safe. That means drug-free neighborhoods, safe schools, and a border that is orderly and enforced. It means stopping fentanyl traffickers, human smugglers, and violent criminals who take advantage of desperate people. And it means supporting the police officers, border personnel, and immigration agents who serve honorably and risk their lives to protect the public.”
“Southern Arizonans know how important it is to secure the border and protect public safety. Organized criminal enterprises that smuggle fentanyl, narcotics, and people across the border must be stopped.”
“We depend on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enforce the law, secure the border, and preserve public trust. We also need lawful trade and travel, and an immigration system that works.”
