Collaboration among state, federal and local officials is critical in keeping our border safe. We are making progress, but more work needs to be done. Grateful for resources from @DHSgov @CBP @WhiteHouse in this effort.

I had a great time at the White House last night with my friend, President @realDonaldTrump! We talked about our shared commitment to keeping our people safe and securing the border, among other things. I thanked him, on behalf of South Carolina, for delivering on his promises! pic.twitter.com/5PopMA1Xvn
