We have got to secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws.

These are our borders, and we have to secure our borders.

I'm on record saying nothing about immigration until we secure the borders. The borders are not secure.

We must safely secure our border by investing in more law enforcement and technology, and receiving cooperation from the Mexican government.

Border security is a complex issue and will remain a top priority during the 2007 legislative year. As Congress works to fix this problem, I will continue to push for strong measures that beef up security at our borders.

We need to make sure we have secure borders.

The fact of the matter is, is that we need our borders secured. Certainly, we realize that there's going to have to be some kind of immigration reform, but I don't believe any of that's going to move forward until our border is secured.

I believe it is essential that we close the security gaps that put our nation at risk, and I will continue to fight for the funding that will secure high-risk targets, such as our ports and borders.

I will continue to enforce all the laws, including illegal immigration. Nothing changes.

I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol, and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction.
