Immigration/Border Security

We have serious problems on our border. That's why Attorney General Goddard has spent over seven years prosecuting smugglers and fighting to cut off funds going to the drug cartels.  Under his leadership Arizona led the way in state efforts against border crime, but he can't do it alone.

As your governor he will work with the federal government to step up the cartel fight, and he will push for immigration reform.  True immigration reform must expand the work permits allowed and require those that entered this country illegally and wish to become citizens to pay back taxes, pay a fine for entering illegally, learn English and pass a criminal background check.

We’re a nation of laws they must be enforced.  That's not a meaningless statement, that's the key to real border security.
