Since taking office in 2007, Gabrielle has been one of the strongest advocates in Congress for securing the border and fixing our broken immigration system. Along with border representatives from both parties, she has fought to:
- Secure the border through measures such as doubling the number of Border Patrol officers and deploying National Guard troops to the Arizona sectors of the border.
- Break down the power of Mexican drug cartels by blocking the flow of money they receive and increasing prison sentences for those who smuggle drugs across the border.
- Punish employers who hire illegal workers in Arizona and throughout the US.

Fifth-generation Cochise County Rancher Warner Glenn:
For generations, we’ve worked this land.
Today, it’s ground zero for coyotes, drugs and violence.
But Gabrielle Giffords is doing something about it.
She battled non-stop to get the National Guard down here,
Helped secure more border agents,
And wrote a bill to toughen penalties for drug smugglers.
Gabrielle Giffords gets it.
Gabrielle Giffords:
I’m Gabrielle Giffords and I approve this message.
