These principles include making border security a top priority. providing our Border Patrol with the resources they need to do their jobs effectively. strengthening immigration law enforcement. punishing employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. and opposing any efforts to reward those who break our laws. Madam Speaker. House Republicans passed a great bill last December that incorporated all of these principles. Unfortunately. Democrats and some of our colleagues in the Senate are pushing for alternative legislation that would make our borders even more vulnerable. their ReidKennedy bill that would actually weaken our law enforcement and make our country far less secure. Madam Speaker. the ReidKennedy bill would reward those who break our laws. This bill is not the answer to our immigration problems. and I strongly encourage my colleagues to oppose it.
