I yield myself 4 minutes. Listen up. According to the 9/11 Commission. up to 15 hijackers should have been deported. but our immigration laws are not being enforced. We cannot sit here as a body that makes laws and just watch them collect dust as our enemies plot against US. My amendment expresses a sense of Congress that immigration laws enacted by Congress must be enforced. This amendment sends a simple message from the Congress to the administration: Enforce the law. We can debate how to solve the illegal immigration problem until we are blue in the face. and I see some very blue faces around the room. but if the laws we enact are not being enforced. then it is just a bunch of hot air. I have got a fourpage list of immigration laws in front of me that are currently being ignored. This is unacceptable. This nonenforcement must end.
