We included provisions in our legislation that would reimburse States for detaining and imprisoning criminal aliens. That is an issue which has affected local and State governments throughout our country. We included in our legislation requirements for a faster deportation process. We increased penalties for gang members. for money laundering. and human trafficking. We increased document fraud detection. and we created new fraudproof immigration documents for people who are here in this country with biometric identifiers. Finally. we expanded authority to remove suspected terrorists from our country. Looking at what we did in coming up with an immigration enforcement package in our country. we said we were going to ensure that we as a nation of laws would have a legal system in place that would in fact be enforceable and that we would put the resources behind that enforcement. We also dealt with another issue. that is. an issue that has caused so much controversy around this country. Essentially. it had to do with the question what do you do with 11 million or 12 million human beings currently residing in our country.
