He is truly going to be deeply. deeply missed and to his wife. Marion. and his parents. our thoughts are with you all. Now. to our issue of immigration. Mr. Speaker. the question that we have 52. Pt. 10 July 10. 2006 before us is one that we are looking at as an issue of border security. and I feel that many times this issue becomes clouded as we try to talk about so many different components of border security and immigration and illegal entry into the country and employer verification. Sometimes looking at the great big pie. the great big pie of the border security/immigration issue. all rolled into one. becomes very. very difficult for many of us. We have started through a process of beginning to break it apart and take things one at a time and focus Intently on this issue. and. indeed. it is an issue that we have had before us. As a former Member of the Judiciary Committee and the Immigration Subcommittee there. we have kept our focus on how do we make certain that we keep this Nation secure. how do we make certain that border security is addressed as national security. and how do we keep America safe. how do we make certain that we know who is coming in this country. how do we make certain that we know why they are coming and how do we make certain that we know the people who have come here have come for the right reasons. have come with the proper paperwork and do not overstay those visas and that paperwork. This is a question to look at. It is a discussion to engage in and it is an issue that I would hope every Member of this body. from both sides of the aisle. would participate in discussing and finding a solution.
