Mr. Speaker. I rise today to give the Senate a roadmap to draft a border security bill that can pass the House of Representatives. The current Senate bill has three flaws that must be corrected. First. the Senate bill waters down the employer sanctions by making then 10 times weaker than the House bill. from $5.000 fine down to $500. Second. the Senate bill doesnt spend a single penny for a single border security fence in any urban area along the border. Third. the Senate bill rewards illegal behavior with permanent citizenship. For example. if a person illegally snuck across the border. committed a felony by using a fake Social Security card. evaded law enforcement for 5 years. waved a Mexican flag and demanded amnesty. they would be rewarded with the chance for permanent citizenship.
