This crisis is not new; it’s one that has progressively worsened year after year, Administration after Administration, due to the federal government’s repeated failures to address our broken border and immigration system.
As a native Arizonan, I’ve seen firsthand how these failures fall squarely on the shoulders of border states, risking the safety of our communities, and endangering the lives of migrants themselves.

It will protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence in our communities. Here’s how:
Support for State Crisis Intervention Orders: New funding for states to create & administer laws with sufficient due process protections helping keep deadly weapons out of the hands of individuals a court has determined to be a significant danger to themselves or others.
Protections for Victims of Domestic Violence: Adds convicted domestic violence abusers in dating relationships to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
