Does it need more work? Absolutely. But clearly. it is one that brings the balance of dealing with border security. national security. and economic security. as well as realistically trying to deal with the 11 million undocumented workers who have come to our country. The Specter amendment toughens our borders. We clearly need to do more to control these borders and to prevent individuals from illegally entering our country because. fundamentally. border control is a national security issue. The Specter amendment would provide advanced border security technologies to assist those tasked with protecting these frontiers. The Specter amendment would also improve our ability to enforce immigration laws by making structural reforms and increasing personnel and funding levels where they are needed most. I wont go into all the details here. but 12.000 new agents along that border will clearly help. My good friend from Texas.
