"Agent Terry, a native of Flat Rock, MI, dedicated his life to public service and the protection of our country and its citizens. He served honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps and continued his service as a police officer with the cities of Ecorse and Lincoln Park in Michigan prior to joining the U.S. Border Patrol. He was a member of the 699th Session of the Border Patrol Academy assigned to the Naco Border Patrol Station within the Tucson Sector. Tragically, in December 2010, while on patrol 14 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, Agent Terry was shot and killed during an armed confrontation with suspected criminals."

"Gabriel Zimmerman graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2002 with a degree in sociology. He served as community outreach director for Representative Gabrielle Giffords. Tragically, he was one of six people fatally wounded in the Tucson, Arizona shooting rampage that also critically injured Representative Giffords. He was the first congressional staffer to give his life in the line of duty. Gabe was a passionate public servant, committed to non-violent solutions and consensus and was motivated to help people."

"Raul Solis of La Puente, California died last Wednesday at the age of 88. He was born on February 27, 1924 in Tucson, Arizona, but he spent most of his youth in Veracruz, Mexico. He returned to the United States as a teenager, as a part of the Bracero program to address labor shortages caused by World War II."

"But if you look down here in the area in blue, the Tucson, Arizona, sector, which is only part of Arizona—it’s not the entire State of Arizona—in the last 2 years for which we have complete data, 51 percent, or a quarter of a million people, came through Arizona. In fact, 51 percent of all of the people who illegally came into the United States and who were apprehended came through the Tucson, Arizona, sector and were apprehended in the Tucson, Arizona, sector. This has to bring about the simple question of why."
