Judge Joe McGraw at the Southern Border

Published | Video Starts at 01:33

As a judge, I spent 20 years on the bench keeping people safe and keeping drugs and criminals off the street. I seen the devastation of soft on crime policies, how it destroys families and neighborhoods. An open border doesn't just affect cities like Yuma, it affects every one of our communities across the country. We've lost nearly 4,000 people to a drug overdose this year as a cartel keeps funneling fentanyl into our country. This is personal to me. I'm passionate about law and order. (01:33–01:40)
