There is no greater challenge to American business. industry. and agriculture than to have a functioning and a working and a meaningful guest worker program. None of those can be accomplished without first securing the border so people come to the United States the right way and the legal way. Our country has always had a pathway to citizenship and it is known as legal immigration. Only with the enforcement of our laws and respect for those laws can we bring about a return to legal immigration into the United States of America. I have commented often in speeches I have made around my State that this is a great nation in which we live. You dont find anybody trying to break out of the United States of America. They are all trying to break in because we are a nation of hope and promise. But with an absence of respect for our own security on our own border. we ask for and will end up getting significant trouble. Senator CORNYN has brought to the floor a perfect idea: an emergency supplemental as a part of the Department of Defense authorization to ensure that border security becomes meaningful and becomes real. It is absolutely true. it is a national security issue. And. it is absolutely true that it is a matter of the defense of our Nation.
