It isnt just a matter of getting tough. It isnt just a matter of enforcement. It is a matter of enforcement and a process that results in comprehensive immigration reform. If it were just a matter of making it tough to cross our borders. you would assume we would have moved toward solving the problem. But it hasnt happened. In the last decade. we have doubled the number of Border Patrol agents. They have spent eight times as many hours patrolling the border in that 10year period of time. and during that same period the number of undocumented immigrants coming into the United States has doubleddespite this dramatic increase in resources. Enforcement at the border is not stopping the flow. The comprehensive bill says you need to do three things. You need border enforcement. I support what the President said last night. I think sending the National Guard. if we can get all the details. on an interim basis is a good thing to move toward enforcement.
