Speaker. I want to thank the gentleman from Alabama for his comments as well and appreciate his leadership on the Committee on Homeland Security. I would now like to further this conversation tonight. this Special Order and this discussion with the American people. and I would like to say a few words about the interrelationship between immigration and homeland security. While so many immigrants who come to this country do so legally and with the sole intention of seeking a better life. there are those who have links to terrorist organizations or who come here to do us harm. To be fully effective. then. the homeland security programs need to contain measures to curb illegal immigration and to prevent those who would seek to propagate acts of violence from crossing international borders. Legislation recently passed in the House contains these kinds of measures. The Real ID Act is one such provision.
