I don't know of any problems countries in Europe are facing - environment, infrastructure, markets, market development, the fifth freedom being digital freedom, border security, terrorism, migration - that can be better solved alone.

We need to believe that we can achieve progress in fixing our broken immigration system, prioritizing smart border security investments, cracking down on those who are trafficking and smuggling, and relieving the ongoing humanitarian crisis at our southern border.

Border strengthening is effective, but not if done in isolation. We also need to give priority to establishing public institutions that deliver a sustained level of security and justice for citizens. Border security can never come at the expense of migrants' rights. Nor can it be used to legitimize inhumane treatment.

Obama wants to raise the issue of immigration reform so that he can demonize Republicans as anti-Hispanic. That's why Obama ignores the broad support for an immigration plan that would provide border security once and for all and then deal with the illegal immigrants who live here.

We need to enact a strong standard that will stop a terrorist or illegal alien from getting a driver's license because border security is a major concern in a post-September 11th world.

We need to be talking about things like the DREAM Act. We need to also be talking about e-verify. We also need to be talking about border security.

Any immigration-reform effort must begin first with border security and enforcement of the law.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

The need for physical border security is a very real one. But equally important is the need to focus on the source of the problem: mass emigration from Central America.

Over the last several years, I've passed defunding Planned Parenthood, the sonogram bill, voter ID. I passed the TSA anti-groping bill, sanctuary cities, loser pay, border security, and the toughest Jessica's law in the entire nation against sexual predators.

David Dewhurst

We believe that there are aspects of border security that Democrats and Republicans can agree on.

Dick Durbin

I'm a former CIA officer and Pentagon official. I'm a deep believer in border security, but we have to be a nation of moral - of morals and, like, a moral core.

Border security is not only related to resources competition.

Border security is a safety issue.

But again, to dealing with border security, is an issue that - it's like having a fire in the back of your house that you need to put out first before you talk about who, who you're going to let in the front door.

Henry Bonilla

Your You Wit

This issue of border security is not about, about ethnicity. I sit there on occasion with 10 or 12 sheriffs from my district, many of which are Democrats with last names like Reyes, with last names like Herrera and Lucio. And they are crying out for border security as well. So again, this is not an issue about being anti-Mexican.

Henry Bonilla

If we want to boost border security, we have to help law enforcement agencies beef up their resources to meet this demand. We cannot have one without the other.

One of the biggest problems that Egypt faces is the lack of border security - the importation of weapons on their way to Gaza, for example, coming out of Sudan.

What we have to quit talking about is border wall. We need border security.

Jacky Rosen

Wall Talking Talk

No level of border security, no wall, doubling the size of the border patrol, all these things will not stop the illegal migration from countries as long as a 7-year-old is desperate enough to flee on her own and travel the entire length of Mexico because of the poverty and the violence in her country.

And so border security is not simply preventing people from getting in, but very often preventing somebody from leaving for the wrong reasons.

Jeh Johnson

Should we attempt border security first, which I believe we should, we still need to face the fact that comprehensive reform is necessary. This must include a guest worker program and dealing with the 11 million people who are here today that are contributing to our economy.

Jim Costa

Mr. Chairman, on September 11, we were attacked by terrorists who took advantage of weaknesses in our border security. After infiltrating our country, the terrorists were able to conceal their real identities, and thereby plot their attacks without fear of being apprehended.

Jim Ryun

House Republicans want to pass a strong border security, illegal immigration bill. We want a bill. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it.

John Boehner

I don't want to impugn the motives of my colleagues, but my attitude is, speaking just for me, you either believe in border security or you don't.

John Kennedy

The president has promised greater border security. We can agree to that. A literal wall might not be the most effective means to that end, but we can provide the resources necessary to secure the border with smart and affordable measures.

John McCain

In 2007 the 'dagger' of an idea that killed President Bush's effort at reforming the immigration system was lax border security.

Juan Williams

While Congress repeatedly finds plenty of time to vote on resolutions of condemnation over border security, they've done virtually nothing to actually solve the problem.

Katie Pavlich

Border security is a comprehensive issue and doesn't boil down to a 'wall' or even barriers. Trump knows and recognizes this, which is why he repeatedly talks about all of the aspects and challenges federal immigration officers face.

Katie Pavlich

I don't know of any problems countries in Europe are facing - environment, infrastructure, markets, market development, the fifth freedom being digital freedom, border security, terrorism, migration - that can be better solved alone.

Border security is the most basic and necessary responsibility of a sovereign nation.

Kirstjen Nielsen

People think of border security in very different ways, but to me, it's very simple: border security is national security.

Kirstjen Nielsen

Yes, there should be tough border security. Yes, there should be foolproof ID cards, with biometrics, for Social Security and employment purposes.

Lawrence Kudlow

Democrats and Republicans agree on most of a unified, politically viable, and workable immigration reform package. Both parties agree that border security is a key part of any strategy.

Luis Gutierrez

When you have a system that increases border security funding by about 300 percent, and it only increases funding for immigration courts by 70 percent, you have a disaster.

Marc Veasey

Republicans rejected calls for amnesty and we've fought efforts to provide illegal aliens with taxpayer funded benefits. The American people are far closer to our Republican approach to border security than they are to Nancy Pelosi's approach.

Marsha Blackburn

We want to do this methodically, smart, starting with border security then looking at immigration reform measures.

Michael McCaul

For millions of Americans, the continued incarceration of Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos is a grim reminder of everything that has gone wrong with border security.

Mike Gallagher

The border is way more porous than it should be, and I think we'd be open to discussing anything that enhances border security.

Mitch McConnell

There are compelling reasons to implement a true America First immigration plan, starting with border security. We are a land of immigrants. Immigration, with assimilation, has generally been good for America.

Niger Innis

That a district judge would overrule the president of the United States on a matter of border security in wartime is absurd.

Pat Buchanan

While Secretary Napolitano may be gone, she will not be forgotten. Her inaction and incompetence on border security will continue to plague our nation for years to come.

Paul Gosar

Our border security is laughable.

Paul Gosar

Immigration and border security are two separate issues, but Paul Ryan has taken the wrong side on both of those, in fact.

Paul Nehlen

If we are going to be compassionate, we have to have stricter border security and laws.

Paula White

Building a wall won't solve our border security challenges.

Pete Buttigieg

I don't have a problem with enhanced border security, perhaps to include fencing. I think the mistake is believing that border security is as simple as just putting up a wall from sea to shining sea.

Pete Buttigieg

As the son of legal immigrants to America who came from India, I support stronger border security for our nation as well as deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes.

Raja Krishnamoorthi

Conservatives have always wanted border security before we had immigration reform.

Rand Paul

The Secure Fence Act, which authorizes the construction of 700 miles of security barriers along the southwest border, has now been sent to President Bush for his signature. This piece of legislation is an important piece of the border security puzzle.

Randy Neugebauer

Clearly, border security has been the top domestic issue of the year, and rightly so. Securing our borders is an essential aspect of our national security.
