So to argue the bill before us is weak on enforcement does not stand up. It is strong on enforcement. But let me be clear. Our lesson is this: Simply increasing enforcement will not solve the immigration problems of America. We have 2.000 border agents now. We have increased them over the years. We have done a lot over the last 4 or 5 years. and illegal immigration has continued. You need to do more. In addition to border enforcement. you have to do two things. You have to deal with the employment. What is the magnet that draws people across that border into the United States?
