Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4760, the Securing America's Future Act, vital legislation to the State of Arizona. My constituents back home know all too well how desperately we need our borders secured. I signed on as a cosponsor of this bill because it will fund a wall and other protective infrastructure, close the gaping loopholes in our immigration laws, and finally secure our southern border, ending this problem once and for all. It is disappointing that with all of the rhetoric coming from my colleagues across the aisle, they still refuse to come to the negotiating table and work toward a legislative solution. Our broken immigration system cannot continue to be ignored. I want to thank Chairman McCaul and Chairman Goodlatte for their work on this much-needed legislation, and I urge all of my colleagues to support this bill.
