Issue Position: Border Security

Issue Position

The United States is a sovereign nation that has a duty to defend its borders and enforce its laws. Ron supports stopping illegal immigration by building a wall along the southern border and instituting a visa tracking system to prevent individuals from illegally overstaying visas. He has led efforts in the House to stop President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty and to prevent the release of sexual offenders and domestic abusers who are in the country illegally.
Ron has also spearheaded investigations into the Obama administration's reckless release, during 2013 and 2014, of 66,000 convicted criminals who are illegally in the country. He opposes sanctuary cities and supports efforts to remove funding for cities that flout federal law. He is also a co-sponsor of Kate's law.
