Issue Position: National Defense

National Defense means America First. We must secure our borders; we cannot be serious about national security if we maintain open borders. Rule of law and the protection of our citizens requires that we enforce immigration laws not ignore them. The Constitution mandates "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." We have domestic violence and foreign invaders kidnapping Americans across our borders yet the Feds ignore the constitution and sit idly by. Our priority should be protecting our citizens and our borders. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have distracted the Federal government from its constitutional duty to protect American citizens, in America, above all else. Arizona is overwhelmed by violent drug cartels as a direct result of the unsecured borders. Furthermore congressional attacks on the 2nd amendment must be stopped. The 2nd amendment is a strong deterrent against invasions by foreign nations and many have speculated that it is the reason why Japan hesitated to attack the continental United States during World War 2.
