Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will visit the U.S.-Mexico border on Saturday, his campaign said Wednesday.

Huckabee will tour an area near San Diego with Duncan Hunter, a former California representative and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and officials from the National Border Patrol Council, according to a news release.

On his campaign website, Huckabee has a section titled “Border Security,” which states: “Without a secure border, nothing matters. We have drug cartels running reckless on our southern border, and the Washington establishment wants to reward illegal immigrants with amnesty and citizenship.”
