Speaker. a few more matters before I conclude here. This is a national security issue. It is an immigration issue. It is protecting the borders and making sure that we keep our borders safe for the Americans who live in the United States. As the gentleman from Georgia has pointed out. we only have about 2.000 officials in the whole United States that are actually seeking out people Illegally in the United States once they cross the border. One of the solutions maybe is to require a passport for people coming into the United States from Mexico and from Canada. Immigration officials have to look at hundreds of different types of documents to verify someones legal status or who they are. their identity. before they come into the United States. Maybe we should reevaluate that policy. A passport policy would certainly not discriminate as we seem to do now on entry into the United States. and requiring individuals to have those passports to come and go from the United States would certainly help identify the true identity of these individuals.
