As a Senator who represents a border State. I understand the frustration communities are facing due to the inability of the Federal Government to secure our Nations borders. Illegal immigration is a serious problem and we do need to do a better job of addressing this issue. The Senate has passed a comprehensive immigration bill aimed at improving security along our borders and at reforming our immigration laws. Although this bill isnt perfect. it is a step in the right direction. I was very disappointed that the leadership in the House refused to appoint conferees. and instead decided to hold hearings around the country to stir up discontent rather than to seek solutions.
