IMMIGRATION ALERT
Apparently the Senate has not heard what the American people have been saying with regard to immigration reform. I have, and my colleagues in the House have, so in August we will take the debate back to the American people to ensure the Senate hears your voices.
Today, I'd like to clear up any misconceptions that may exist and clarify rumors that may be circulating.
First, I believe the American people want a bill sent to the President that reflects the following principles:
1) Secure our borders and provide additional resources to federal and state authorities to strengthen border patrol efforts.
2) Strengthen enforcement and stiffen penalties for illegal immigrants and/or employers who knowingly break our immigration laws.
Second, I do not believe the following provisions included in the Reid-Kennedy Senate passed immigration bill reflects American priorities:
1) Mexico would have to be consulted regarding the construction of a fence along our southern border
2) Guarantees Social Security benefits would be provided for illegal immigrants for time they were in the country illegally
3) And allows illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state colleges and universities
I am grateful to be an American and I understand why others want to live in this great country. No one is saying don't come, we're just saying do it properly. Don't hop a fence, dig a tunnel or cut in line in front of countless folks who respect our laws enough to go through the process properly - no matter how long it may take.
