Mark Lamb: We need to return to Trump-era policies, finish the Wall

America must regain operational control of the Southern Border and enforce our immigration laws. We need to return to Trump-era policies, finish the Wall, and reinstate "Remain in Mexico." Allowing unrestricted illegal immigration is unfair to legal immigrants who played by the rules and waited in line. America needs a return to sanity with a merit-based immigration system that upholds the rule of law.

Kari Lake: Border wall keeps us safe from a potential terrorist attack

Lake: The border wall keeps us safe. We have seen areas where the border wall is there and where there are gaps, people are pouring through. Ruben Gallego has supported Kamala Harris, the border czar, and Joe Biden's open border policy which has led to 400,000 convicted criminals coming in and they have done nothing to secure the border. The only piece of legislation Mr. Gallego put forth was about removing the word removing the word "illegal." He is more worried about semantics. We are worried about a potential terrorist attack.

Gallego: The border wall is important to the security package. it has to be coupled with technology and manpower. This is why it was important the bill passed because it had a lot of those elements. I have voted for border walls in the past. With the proper manpower and staffing, it does work. What does not work is a border wall without the manpower and laws you need to implement because it does not end up being of use. It just costs us money.
