When I look at the things that are going to unify us. it is making sure that we are safe and secure and have economic opportunity. Throughout my district. people agree we need to secure the border. Now. they also want to look for thoughtful solutions to modernize and revamp our legal immigration system so that those who want to come here to work and are going to contribute to our economy have a legal way to do that. We need to work on those challenges as well. As we talk about it in southern Arizona. we need a high fence and a wide gate. sort of metaphorically. What that means is. lets focus our border security on transnational criminal organizations and the public safety and national security threat. but we also need to make sure we have got good economic development and opportunities for individuals to come here legally. and also for commerce to be able to flow. which is a separate issue. They often get lumped in together and oftentimes these issues get hijacked by others who have other intentions that are trying to politicize it. But I think every AmericanDemocrat.
