Mr. Speaker. after many months. the Democrats have managed to release their socalled national security agenda. and one of the things their agenda calls for is improving border security. Last year. House Republicans passed the Border Protection. AntiTerrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act as well as the REAL ID Act. How do these bills protect our borders? First. the Border Security Act increases penalties for illegal immigration and holds violators accountable to restore the integrity of our Nations borders. reestablishes respect for our laws. and helps ensure that terrorists cannot enter the United States. Second. the REAL ID Act federally standardizes the requirements for applying and issuing State identification cards because the 19 hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried between them 13 valid drivers licenses and 21 Stateissued ID cards. How did the Democrats vote on these issues? 164 of them opposed the Border Security Act and 152 opposed the REAL ID Act. So Democrats now want to improve border security? Here is a tip for them: start voting for legislation that does exactly that.
