We were convinced. first of all. about the importance of securing our borders from a national security point of view. You have all these individuals who are coming in here. and in the wake of 9/11. we dont know who they are. and this presents a national security issue. If you have millions of immigrants who are virtually underground because they are undocumented. this is a national security issue. When we find out that Homeland Security is worried about different cells in different parts of the country. and we know we have millions of immigrants who are subject to exploitation because they are undocumented. this is a national security issue. So we looked at it and said: What are the features that are going to be necessary to deal with national security. because that is very important. and to deal with the fact that there is this magnet. drawing people to the United States. the magnet of the American economy so that strong individuals who want to provide for their families. work hard. play by the rules. and provide for their families are offered jobs by American employers? So they come here and send money back to look after their children and families. to develop a community.
