IMMIGRATION ALERT
America is a melting pot, but we are also a proud nation of laws. When it comes to immigration reform we should not do anything until we can control our borders and enforce our current laws. We have to find a way to balance both by putting the best interest of our citizens, and those who come here legally above others. Reforming our immigration system is complex, and there are many issues we need to work through, but I do not support legislation that rewards those who have skirted the system and come to our country illegally because amnesty is not the answer.
H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005, which passed the House of Representatives in December, addresses only issues related to strengthening border security and enforcing our current laws.
The following story is an example of how the strengthening border security will make a difference: http://www.kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=5019859
Here is an additional story which highlights how strong enforcement of our current laws can make a difference: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/17/AR2006061700455.html
I believe the House got it right by dealing with border security and enforcement first, let me know if you agree. Also, let me know your thoughts as to whether the House should compromise with the Senate or stand firm, even if that means no legislation will pass at this time.
