Border Security Must Be a Top Priority

Washington, February 26, 2019 -

Congressman Bill Posey released the following statement concerning the crisis on our border:

“There has long been a crisis on our border. During the previous administration I visited our border and saw firsthand how open and dangerous it has become. It is the responsibility of the federal government to protect our nation and that means securing our borders and maintaining operation control over them, including funding border fencing/wall or whatever barrier is needed to stop human traffickers, drug dealers, violent criminals, terrorists and other illegal crossings into to the United States. The President is correct to take this issue seriously and within his authority to declare an emergency and act to protect our nation.”
