Speech #980000812

Mr. President. the American people are losing patience with Congress. Faced with an almost total collapse of border control and the presence of millions of illegal aliens in an economy plagued by unemployment. Congress does nothing. The House of Representatives fails to act on even the flawed immigration reform bill passed last year by the Senate. The administration does not even ask for levels of INS funding that could begin to regain control over our borders. Congress appropriates billions of dollars for social programs which properly belong within the jurisdiction of the States and localities. while ignoring control over our bordersone of the clearest responsibilities of the Federal Government.
