Some cross to deal drugs and commit crimes. Intelligence reports show that even alQaida considers our borders a key vulnerability. Without effective border control. we cant tell those looking for honest work from those bent on mayhem. Under the Secure Fence Act. Customs and Border Protection will take responsibility for securing every inch of our border with Mexico. Engineers and construction workers will erect twolayer reinforced fencing along the entire border. Hundreds of new cameras and sensors will be installed. Unmanned aircraft will supplement existing air and ground patrols. The resulting finished network will give us complete operational control over our entire border. and it will go a long way toward stopping illegal immigration altogether. But border barriers alone wont solve our problems. Congress still needs to address the illegal immigrants already in the country and provide a viable means to meet our Nations labor needs. While I would have preferred coming to an agreement on a comprehensive solution this year. I have always said we need an enforcementfirst approach to immigration reformnot enforcement only but enforcement first. This bill is that next step in strengthening our national security and the next step in making America safer and more secure.
