Statements about Border Security

The Obama administration increased the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of crimes by 70 percent.

"The Border Patrol has 20,000 agents – more than twice as many as there were in 2004."

Says neither President Barack Obama nor Mexico President Felipe Calderon "have been on the border to see what's happening to the citizens of Mexico, and for that matter the citizens of Texas."

There have been "at least four incidents where bullets from Mexico have crossed the border."
