Leah Vukmir: Construct a wall on the southern border

We are either a nation of laws or we are not. Leah Vukmir's father was an immigrant from Greece. Her mother's parents were immigrants as well. Both families came the right way--legally.

In the U.S. Senate, Leah Vukmir will support construction of a wall on the southern border and efforts to crack down on illegal immigration in the United States. Leah also opposes sanctuary cities in Wisconsin.
