Secure the border; open border brings illegal girls & drugs
I am a pilot in the Navy Reserve who regularly flies counter-drug missions in Central and South America. I have seen firsthand the impact of an open border.
Cartels in South America are illegally trafficking narcotics, weapons, and young girls to northern Mexico where they are transferred to other cartels and brought across the border.
The cartels in northern Mexico own police officers, judges, and politicians. They are narco-terrorists who slaughter innocent victims to keep control. Liberals suggest legalizing, regulating, and taxing narcotics.
This would align government revenue with drug addiction. I suggest securing the border, enforcing the law, and disrupting the drug trade.

Secure the borders to stop movement of narcotics and slaves
Q: Do you support allowing illegal immigrants, who were brought to the US as minors, to pursue citizenship without returning to their country of origin?A: No.
Q: Do you support the enforcement of federal immigration law by state and local police?
A: Yes. The laws of the US must be enforced unless they are changed by legislative process. We must secure the borders of the United States so that illegal movement of persons, narcotics, slaves and weapons across the border is stopped.
