I rise in support of the amendment. There are many in the world who rightfully look to the United States as the land of opportunity. Unfortunately. because of the ceilings placed on legal immigration each year. some individuals obtain residence and employment through illegal means. With the increase in illegal aliens coming into the United States. I am in favor of additional funding for the border patrol. Furthermore. I support the use of military forces to ensure that our borders are adequately monitored. I have concerns over the costs associated with illegal immigration. In many respects. it is the State government which determines which. if any. benefits will be available to illegal aliens. Our Government should be cautious about giving benefits to everyone from around the world who wishes to reside in the United States. Furthermore. recently enacted employer sanctions have contributed to a decline in employment of illegal aliens and enhanced the security of American jobs. Please be assured that I will support efforts which reduce illegal immigration and minimize associated costs. I encourage all Members to support the Hunter amendment.
