National Security

Our soldiers deserve nothing less that the best, most advanced battlefield weaponry and technology. Anything less is unacceptable. I am committed to seeing that we have the advanced aircraft, warships, and battlefield hardware to guarantee our troops supremacy. That means making the investments needed to develop and purchase advanced equipment.

We must ensure that in the global war on terror, we do not hamper those American soldiers who are putting their lives on the line each and every day to go after and capture those who are planning the next 9-11 attacks. We must recognize the intense hatred that some will maintain against freedom loving nations. We have taken the fight to the terrorists since 9-11. We have made tremendous strides in rooting out terrorist cells, in restoring order, and in returning basic services in Iraq and Afghanistan. We must see these missions through to ensure that the hard work of our troops was not in vane.

Securing our borders is not only an important for addressing illegal immigration, but it is a critical element to securing our nation from terrorists. Let’s not forget that it was our broken immigration system that enabled most of the 9-11 terrorists entry into the U.S.
