Mick Rich: Ending illegal drugs crossing the border will be #1 priority

Rich also signaled public safety issues as a top priority, while tracing New Mexico's difficulties in addressing violent crime and drug overdoses to illegal drugs crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. He said he would take a common sense approach to drug interdiction at the border that would include border wall reinforcements in some, but not all, areas. He suggested paying for border wall improvements with a portion of the money that immigrants wire home to family in Mexico.
