Mr. Speaker. this country has a long history of accepting immigrants from all over the world and offering them the potential to pursue a better life. America offers the rights. liberties. and dignity not seen anywhere else in the world. Now the need for immigration reform has come to the forefront of our country and it is time to remove a carrot that dangles in front of the faces of illegal immigrants. As long as there is the promise of easy illegal employment. immigrants will continue to disregard our laws and penetrate our borders. We must enforce strict laws on employers who use illegal labor in order to discourage illegals coming to America looking for a free ride. Mr. Speaker. we must do all that is possible to stop illegal immigration. and I remain committed to enacting measures that will effectively solve this problem.
