Border Security Is National Security 

Dear Friend,

Our porous, unsecure border has left our country vulnerable to drugs, gangs, and human trafficking. Border security is national security and, as such, is my top priority as your Representative.

For decades, we have been sold a false narrative that the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) exists to stop all immigration. This could not be further from the truth. CBP works to safely process legal migrants, as well as protect the private property of landowners, who are all too often harmed by illegal immigrants cutting fences, starting fires, harming their livestock, and leaving belongings, drugs, and trash in their wake.

We must increase manpower and resources for the men and women in the CBP and local jurisdictions to ensure they have what they need to safely and effectively do their job to secure our border and protect the American people. 

Please know, it is an honor to be your Representative.
