莱西·库珀:作为美国检察官办公室边境安全部门的主管,我亲身经历了边境问题的复杂性。这与许多人的认知不同,许多非法入境者有犯罪记录,甚至包括恐怖分子同情者。贩毒集团将人口走私和毒品走私结合起来,利用人口流动转移执法部门的注意力。近年来,非法入境者的国籍构成发生了变化,不再仅仅局限于墨西哥和北三角地区,而是来自更多国家,这需要调整相关的政策。州检察长在打击边境危机方面能力有限,但可以通过加强对毒品犯罪的起诉,以及对拜登政府某些不合理政策提起诉讼来发挥作用。"留在墨西哥"政策是有效的,拜登政府取消该政策是不合理的。在窃听中,我经常听到贩毒集团策划暴力行为,甚至需要采取行动阻止暴力事件发生。我重视民权,并认为检察长办公室的民权部门应该得到重视,以保护弱势群体。我主张支持执法部门,提升警察形象,并认为当前对执法部门的负面评价会影响招聘。我批评司法部对凤凰城警察局的调查,认为地方政府应该自己解决问题,而不是联邦政府干预。我还对处理无家可归者问题的现状表示担忧。我主张对无家可归者执行法律,并为他们提供治疗或入狱的选择。我竞选州检察长是为了继续为社区服务,并维护亚利桑那州的保守价值观。我认为州检察长有权阻止地方政府违反州法律,并可以通过控制资金来实施这一权力。凤凰城是儿童性交易的中心,州检察长可以通过起诉和教育来解决这个问题。亚利桑那州的绑架案数量居美国前列,这与边境政策有关。边境政策导致受害者不敢向执法部门举报被贩卖或绑架的情况,拜登政府最近的做法更是加剧了这一问题。我建议建立一个系统,让寻求政治庇护的人通过合法的途径提出申请,而不是非法越境。边境执法工作让我更加热爱美国。我对比了合法入籍和非法入境的两种情况,并指出拜登政府的政策导致非法入境者认为获得大赦的可能性很高。我认为可以借鉴过去成功的临时工计划,例如"收割者计划",来解决劳动力需求和打击非法移民的问题。我认为各州应该根据自身需求决定劳动力引进政策,而不是由联邦政府决定。我反对强制要求学生接种新冠疫苗,认为这是州政府的越权行为,应该由家长决定。即使法律发生变化,我仍然认为应该允许个人根据自身情况选择是否接种疫苗,并指出其他国家并没有对儿童强制接种疫苗。我本人已经接种了新冠疫苗,但我认为这应该是一个个人决定,而不是政治决定。我认为州检察长可以就边境地区新冠疫苗接种问题采取行动,并提到马克·布诺维奇最近提起的诉讼。 Chuck Warren: 州检察长在边境问题上的权力有限,但他支持增加合法移民的数量,但必须通过正确的途径。他质疑许多寻求政治庇护的人声称逃离帮派暴力,并指出芝加哥的谋杀率比许多其他国家都高。他认为美国与其他国家不同,并指出拜登政府未能有效处理边境问题。他批评美国自由派媒体只报道有利于他们一方的新闻。他认为奥巴马总统对边境问题持更强硬的态度。 Sam Stone: 他对坦帕湾光芒队在各个级别的比赛中都取得优异成绩感到惊讶。他认为Lacy Cooper如果能够筹集到足够的资金,将会成为州检察长竞选的有力竞争者。他鼓励人们关注州检察长等地方选举。

She prosecuted gang members who deteriorated the fabric of our local communities, and terrorists who took advantage of loopholes in the United States’ immigration system. Lacy knows firsthand what it takes to keep our country safe, and she has a record of doing just that.Lacy began her career as a Deputy County Attorney in Gila County fighting all levels of crime and defending the vulnerable. She spearheaded a task force targeting the most prevalent drug dealers. She prosecuted white-collar criminals who defrauded Arizonans. And she obtained lengthy sentences for sexual predators. Lacy ensured victims’ rights were protected and justice was served.Lacy has lived in Arizona for over 30 years. She moved to Arizona in elementary school and graduated from Dobson High School in Mesa. Born in the oil fields of southeastern New Mexico, Lacy learned the value of hard work from her father’s side of the family, all of whom spent their Friday nights at high school football games and their Saturday mornings on the rigs. She was also blessed to have school teachers, coaches and administrators on her mother’s side who devoted themselves to her education. Lacy brings this legacy of perseverance, aptitude and servant leadership to all of her endeavors.CONNECT WITH USTwitter: https://twitter.com/BrokenPotholes
