"A divider from ocean to sparkling ocean is the most costly and least compelling approach to do outskirt security," he recently disclosed to The New York Times."Let's ensure we're utilizing the correct instrument in the perfect place. We ought to consider all these distinctive advancements and how they ought to be utilized, and when I depict this, no one deviates," Hurd said.

Hurd likewise as of late gotten out some kindred Republicans who "have made supremacist remarks that offer authenticity to scornful philosophies" in an ongoing opinion piece. He applauded the House Republican Conference for taking "fast, conclusive and important activity to revoke the latest comments" of Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King."As a Republican, I trust it's grievous that a recognition still exists in the brains of a few Americans that the GOP supports bigotry," Hurd composed. "Tragically, a few people subsidiary with our gathering have made supremacist remarks that offer authenticity to disdainful philosophies. Notwithstanding, my [positive mental attitude] constrains me to trust we can change this recognition through activities."
