Rep. Eli Crane, currently serving Arizona's 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, has voiced strong opinions on the need for secure borders, a topic often discussed in American politics. Representing his state since 2023, after succeeding Tom O'Halleran, Crane made his stance clear on border security in a series of tweets.
On April 17, 2025, Rep. Crane articulated his position on border security by stating: "Americans of conscience want a secure border. Americans of conscience don't want gang members that came here illegally living in their neighborhoods." This tweet reflects ongoing debates surrounding illegal immigration and national security.
Later the same day, he further distinguished between political stances on immigration, arguing that: "One side wants to protect the illegal gangsters. One side wants to deport them." Rep. Crane's statement highlights the divisive nature of immigration policies.
In a different context, Rep. Crane expressed gratitude for developments beneficial to Arizona's 2nd district, tweeting, "More great news for #AZ02. Thank you, @SecRollins." Though specific details were not provided in the tweet, it underscores his engagement with regional interests.
Eli Crane was born in 1980 in Tucson, Arizona, and currently resides in Oro Valley. His political career in Congress began in 2023 after he took over the position from Tom O'Halleran.
