A big part of this security agenda is our national security and we continue to address this issue. We talk about the war on terror. We talk about protecting our Nation. and that is where the border security component comes in. In December. we passed a border security bill to address so many of these issues that are before us. And. of course. as typically happens and many times happens here. those of us in the House roll up our sleeves and get to work and we pass a bill. It crosses the Rotunda to the other side. to the other body. and maybe it languishes or does not move quite as quickly. But the Members of the House have taken action on this issue. Li 2130 It is indeed one that deserves our attention. and as we talk about border security. there is one component that I would like to highlight this evening. just one component as we talk about border security and the importance of keeping this border secure. When we talk about illegal immigration and illegal immigrants. I think it is imperative that we turn the focus to illegal entry. That is the action that an individual outside this country is choosing to committhe act of illegally entering our country. and we need to keep our focus on that: Why would they choose to enter illegally?
