Pillar 1: Maintain Order at the Border and Keep Our Communities Safe
Border crossings are down — and that’s a good thing. But to maintain that progress we need:
✅ More agents
✅ Modern technology at our ports,
✅ Smarter ICE enforcement that focuses on criminals, not chaos.

As we did in the Obama era, Democrats need to offer solutions to our immigration challenges, bringing order, fairness and humanity to our immigration system.
@gallego.senate.gov just released a plan that aims for this balance and starts the conversation the country needs. bsky.app/profile/gall...

Our border and immigration systems are broken. Everyone knows it.
Today, I’m unveiling a 5-pillar plan to secure the border and fuel economic prosperity.
It’s time for Congress to act.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, abuelas, and mother figures across Arizona who show up everyday. We can never thank you enough.
Commissar Trump says you’ve bought enough dolls.
If this weekend is any indication, it’s going to be a hot summer.
Extreme heat kills hundreds of people in Arizona every year.
This isn’t just a weather thing. It’s a public health crisis. We’ve got to do more to keep people safe.
Fentanyl has devastated communities across Arizona for too long.
We know the Chinese Government is helping traffickers get this poison into our country.
My bill gives us the tools we need to identify these threats and close the gaps that put our communities at risk.
My statement on GENIUS Act cloture vote
Too many Arizonans—especially in rural and tribal areas—are stuck waiting for home appraisals.
That delays closings and raises costs.
I'm proud to introduce the bipartisan Appraisal Industry Improvement Act to boost the workforce and fix this.
Trump is doing everything but lowering your costs.
To Mrs. Konley who helped me study for the SATs.
To Mr. Gustafson who drove me to school when I had no other way.
To my sister, my son’s teachers, and every educator out there — thank you.
Happy #TeacherAppreciationDay
Spoke with AHA today about my experience as a freshman Senator and why we must protect Medicaid.
Cinco de Mayo recognizes one of the greatest military underdog stories in history. It teaches us to keep fighting even when there’s nothing but hope. Today we celebrate that perseverance and the Mexican-American culture that enriches our country.
Trump has no plan
