When I speak on the House floor or in the media about border security, my message is strong and consistent: Arizona’s border security is national security. It is not a talking point or a partisan slogan. It is a reality that the American people, especially those of us who live in border states like Arizona, understand all too well.

That’s why I recently went with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office to take a look at the border myself.
