Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) said Sunday that she is appreciative of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in his efforts to put forward a comprehensive immigration reform bill that prioritizes border security. 

“We need to secure our border first and then move forward,” Brewer said. 

Brewer stressed that the border is not secure, saying that she “visually saw” drug cartels planning to cross during a recent trip to the border. 

“I visually saw them. They’re staging. And they’re staging during the day and they come across at night,” Brewer said.
