Terrorism & Protecting Our Borders
Jan 26, 2016It was Ronald Reagan who once said, ‘A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation at all.’ The only way to keep our homeland safe, along with slowing the influx of criminals and drugs, is to enforce the laws on the books and secure the border. Further, the fiscal cost of unlawful immigration is simply unsustainable. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that when you include public education, health care, corrections, and government benefits, the total comes to $113 billion per year and growing-and most of it borne by the state residents such as those taxpayers right here in the 2nd district.
