This banner is signed by students from the Alta Charter School in our district. These students are voicing their concerns because they want to keep their families together and felt their heritage was not being respected. They are concerned about the possibility of their parents being deported. even though their children are citizens. They are worried about the possibility of them being deported. although this is the only life they have ever known. I believe we should improve border security. and every Nation in the world should control their borders and know who is crossing it. but I voted against H.R. 4437 because this bill doesnt realistically deal with the 10 to 12 million people who are living in this country. If this bill is enacted. 3 million U.S. citizens will be left without their parent or guardian. Family values should apply to our immigration laws. This is why we see students marching in our communities all across our country and why you see this banner on the floor of the House today. We need comprehensive. fair immigration reform that includes increased border security. more detention beds to prevent catch and release. requiring applicants to go through criminal background checks. to learn English and also pay a penalty. That way. we can make sure these people. these children who are here know that their parents wont need to be deported or they wont be.
