The world faces new and constantly evolving threats. From militant Islamic terrorism to an aggressive Russia to the potential nuclear threats posed by Iran and North Korea, danger surrounds us all. The safety of the American people starts at home. It starts at our borders.

We must first take a firm stand to ensure that illegal immigrants are kept out of our country. Border security IS national security. This is a fact that Washington must take seriously and prioritize in order to ensure the safety of our citizens.

I will not back down on this issue and neither should you. Stand with me and protect our borders. Protect our homes. Protect our families.
