Speaker. for the greater good of all Americans. The United States must regain control of its borders. Each day our borders are openly violated and our immigration laws mocked. Every day we delay action on this bill. we lose ground. Federal. State. and local budgetsschool and welfare budgetscannot continue to support an unchecked flow of illegal immigrants across our borders. Even worse. there are 10 million unemployed Americans competing with millions of illegal aliens for scarce jobs. A recent poll by Hart and Tarrance revealed that 57 percent of Hispanic citizens favor tougher immigration laws. Another poll found that 60 percent of all Hispanic Americans and 66 percent of Hispanic voters clearly support tougher immigration control. I realize that partisan politics is unfortunately part of this institution. but immigration reform must be considered if the United States intends to set its own immigration policy. We need to address this vital issue for the future economic wellbeing of this Nation.
