Immigration/Border Security
As most folks agree, our entire immigration process is broken. Thousands of illegal immigrants cross our borders illegally each year, which brings into question our ability to secure our nation from those who wish us harm. As a result, to effectively deal with the immigration concerns in the United States we must, first and foremost, control our borders. Otherwise anything else we might do would simply be ineffective.
For these reasons, I support bills such as, H.R. 4987, the Fence by Date Certain Act, which allows for the creation of a fence along about 700 miles of the most porous regions of the southern border.
I also support the hiring of more Border Patrol and ICE agents as well as the immediate release of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean.
Lastly, I strongly oppose any form of amnesty. We are a nation of laws and we would send the wrong message if we were to merely give amnesty to those who openly disregard our laws.
