Madam Speaker. this week we will consider legislation that the American people have made clear must be addressed to solve the illegal immigration crisis in our country. For too long. the security and wellbeing of our Nation has been compromised by open and porous borders. After months of field hearings and listening to our constituents concerns. it is clear that Americans from Savannah to Seattle and from San Diego to Syracuse demand tighter border security and stronger immigration laws. Last week. we passed the Secure Fence Act to tackle the problem of illegal aliens coming across the border. and three bills will be brought to the floor this week to ensure that our law enforcement agencies have the tools needed to further deal with this crisis. I call on all of my colleagues here and in the Senate to pass these critical pieces of legislation. Madam Speaker. no longer can we allow an attitude of indifference toward the sovereignty of our borders.
