2020 IL Senate race: on Homeland Security

Mark Curran: Proper funding & resources to fight terror

A: It is critical that all of the nation's current resources to fight terror are properly funded and staffed. This includes our counter intelligence agencies, the FBI, and very importantly, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It is also imperative that the policies of these departments are geared towards vigilant follow up and pro-active measures to combat threats before they result in harm to Americans. In my view, the safety of our people can only be assured when we recognize that there is a portion of the overseas Muslim population that believes in waging jihad against The United States. We have certainly seen the results of this mindset before, and we will again unless we understand the true danger.
