2018 NV Senate race: on Homeland Security

Danny Tarkanian: Rebuild our military; it was severely weakened under Obama

Providing for our national defense is one of the few authorized responsibilities of the federal government, as outlined in Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution.

As such, I am fully committed to rebuilding our military, which was severely weakened during the eight years of the Obama administration. As President Reagan put it, we must always be prepared so that we'll always be free. In addition:

I believe our allies should help pay for that protection as agreed and appropriate.
I believe border security and national security go hand-in-hand and support building the wall on our southern border, as well as President Trump's limited travel ban and ending the visa lottery program.
I oppose calls to reinstate the draft, as well as oppose requiring women to register for the draft.
I oppose using our military for social experimentation.
