Speech #1090155276

I started working on this issue. trying to make certain that those that illegally entered this country could not secure valid drivers licenses and then have carried that activity with me. coming here to Congress and again continuing to focus on this issue. As I said. every State is a border State. and we are hearing from States like my State of Tennessee and other States around the country. Border security is the number one issue. We have seen enormous populations of people who are not legally in the States gravitate to certain States for specific reasons. and Americans know that there ought to be laws that are enforced. They know that there are laws on the books. and they cannot figure out why in the world. why in the world those laws are not being enforced. why are we choosing not to enforce those laws and defend those borders.
