I strongly believe that our local, state and federal governments must work together to stop illegal immigration and protect our border. Illegal immigration costs California taxpayers billions of dollars on a yearly basis.

My parents and I came to this country legally because we wanted to work hard and earn the American Dream. Unchecked illegal immigration is unfair to those who come here legally and unfair to the taxpayers who pay for their welfare.

In the State Senate, I will vote to secure our border to stop the flow of illegal aliens and take action to support federal law reforms.
