Immigration & Border

Supports stronger border enforcement and completion of the southern border wall, increased resources for CBP and ICE, tougher penalties for cartels and fentanyl traffickers, and ending taxpayer-funded incentives for illegal immigrants while also supporting legal immigration and pathways to citizenship.
