Speech #1090175844

We can argue the merits or demerits of this issue. but it is clear what it is all about. It is an effort to have a political vote as close to the election as possible. It is an effort to tap into voter sentiment on the issue of immigration. It is an effort to avoid our real responsibility. and that is to demand smart enforcementtough enforcement at the border. and enforcement in the workplace so that those who are drawn to America to find a job will be discouraged because now there will be a tamperproof ID to establish who a person really is before they have a chance to work in this country. It is also ignoring the obvious. too.
