I was on the House floor yesterday and a Member of Congress called me down because I said my cousin from Australia said. we hear you can just break your immigration law and then there is no problem. In Australia they have learned that if you fly to Tijuana and walk across the border. do not worry about it. You get in this country and you get more benefits if you break the riles than playing by the socalled silly rulings. That really scares me. Can you imagine what the rest of the world thinks of this country when they think of immigration issues. when they think about what kind of country would not only allow but telegraph around the world to come break our laws and we will reward you? This is the greatest Nation in the world.
