Congressman Biggs' Statement on President Trump's Efforts to Secure the Border

Statement

Date: April 5, 2018
Location: Gilbert, AZ
Issues: National Security Defense

Last evening, President Donald Trump authorized National Guard troops to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Congressman Biggs released the following statement:

"I support President Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops to the border. I continue to fight to fund, begin, and complete a border wall, just as President Trump promised when America elected him. His commitment to building the wall and ending illegal immigration helped him capture the Republican nomination and the Presidency. I appreciate President Trump's efforts to keep his promises.

"Congress has been derelict in its duty to secure the border. While many legislators have paid lip service to voters about border security, few have actually followed through on these promises. Congress must act, and I implore my colleagues to fund the wall and all else required to secure our border. This should be a top priority for Congress, and I will not give up the fight to preserve our nation by securing our border."
