These tragedies challenge our standards of compassion. But the sheer vastness of the illegal flow also compromises our security. Among those seeking a better life are those seeking to harm our country. Some bring drugs. Some traffic in human beings. A few may even have links to terrorist groups. The safety and security of every citizen and every visitor who wishes to share in the American dream requires that we reform our laws to strengthen and improve our Immigration system. We also will turn to finishing our work on the Department of Defense authorization bill. Our troops in the field are depending on it.
