In recent days. this Congress has taken important first steps to restore operational control of our borders. I was pleased to support the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and additional measures that we will bring to the floor of this Congress this week. American people want Congress to put border security first. Mr. Speaker. But border security first does not mean border security only. Congress must secure our borders. but the American people know that securing our borders is a necessary but insufficient solution to the crisis of illegal immigration. After we secure our borders. Congress must also enact a new temporary worker program. without amnesty. and without creating a new Federal bureaucracy. and I believe we will.
