Securing the Southern Border
A nation without borders is not a nation. The crisis at our southern border is out of control, threatening our national security, straining our resources, and endangering lives across New Mexico. I will work to finish the wall, reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, and stop the flow of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and deadly drugs. Border security is not just a federal responsibility—it’s a moral obligation to protect American citizens and uphold the rule of law.
Policy Priorities:
- Finish the border wall and invest in surveillance and staffing where needed
- Reinstate successful Trump-era policies like Title 42 and Remain in Mexico
- Increase Border Patrol resources and technology along rural corridors
- Crack down on sanctuary policies that protect criminal aliens
- Support cooperation with sheriffs and local law enforcement in border communities
- End catch-and-release and enforce mandatory detention for illegal border crossers
