We had one of the ranchers, an
81-year-old gentleman, demonstrate how he crawls underneath the wire at
81 years of age. Where there are small areas of fencing outside Nogales, either side
from Nogales, that has cut down the number of folks who come that way;
but since that fence only goes about 3 or 4 miles onto each side of the
city, what happens is there is a flood of people who come around that
fence. A border wall is important. It is imperative. Those of us who feel
the direct brunt of the influx of people who come across the border,
whether for hostile or benign intentions, we feel very strongly that a
border wall would benefit our State. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to support this initiative, and I can tell
you that my constituency also supports this initiative.
