Chairman SMrTH. for his great leadership in bringing this bill to the floor. As legislators we work on an endless number of issues. but today we are addressing one of our Nations most critical. that of protecting our borders. H.R. 2202 not only secures our borders with the addition of 5.000 new Border Patrol agents. it also streamlines the deportation of criminal aliens. protects American jobs and holds individuals responsible to support immigrants that they sponsor. and. finally. eases the tax burdens on all Americans. It is no longer possible to ignore the magnitude of the illegal immigration problem. These reforms will go a long way toward restoring reason. integrity. and fairness to our immigration policy and to controlling our borders. Through the adoption of this conference report. the 104th Congress achieves another commonsense change for a better America.
