Border Issues

During my time in the Senate, I have advocated for a comprehensive approach to maintaining border security which focuses on implementing a forward thinking strategy that anticipates future threats and allocates sufficient resources to address those threats. To this end, I have consistently sought to secure funding for additional Border Patrol agents, surveillance cameras, and vehicle barriers, in an effort to stem the flow of illegal immigration and drugs and to prevent against potential terrorist activity.
