The voters in my district, and around the country, have demanded that Congress get a hold on the influx of illegal immigrants and tighten the security around our borders.

There is overwhelming bipartisan support outside of Washington that we need to finally secure our borders, enforce our laws, and stop the problem of illegal immigration.

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

I believe that the great majority of people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their family. But we need to control our border.

We all want our border to be secure. However, certain individuals use this argument to stop us from ever enacting immigration reform.

What we need to do is to come together as a people and solve the problems facing our country. And unfortunately, Washington is just not doing enough of that these days.

We must curtail the flow of illegal immigrants across the Mexican border.

Thousands of cities in America are crying out for relief from the burden of illegal immigration. Small towns like mine can no longer wait for Washington.

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

We need to stop illegal immigration. We need to put people back to work. We need to cut taxes.
