They are all trying to break in and for a very special reason: The promise of hope. opportunity. and jobs. But we must make the right way to come to America be the legal way to come to America. not the ease of crossing our border in the dark of night under some other cover. Lastly. an integral part of border security Is a verifiable program. where Americas employers can be given a verifiable ID by someone who is here legally that verifies they are who they say they are. The biggest growth industry in the United States of America on our southwestern border is forged documents. We have a proliferation today of forged documents. where illegal aliens have legallooking documents and we have a customs and immigration system that cannot tell an American farmer or an American employer that. in fact. the document they were shown is. in fact. right or wrong. That has to be fixed. Once those provisions are in. we have a secure border. Interestingly enough. it takes about the same amount of time to put in the barriers. get unmanned aerial vehicles in the air. train the border security and portofentry people as it takes to get the verifiable identification system in place. We know both will take about 24 months. When we have the trigger. it does not protract reform. but it precedes the implementation of what is going to take 24 months to do anyway. And all of a sudden we have a new paradigm in America. Those who want to come here realize the way to come is the legal way. not the illegal way. They learn there are consequences to coming illegally and employers know when they get an ID they can either swipe it on a computer or they can go up on the Internet and code to customs and immigration and find out that person is legal. The paradigm changes. and then the hope and opportunity of reforming legal immigration in this country can become a reality. I am not an obstructionist to doing it. In fact. if anything needs to be done. we need to reform the legal system because we almost promote. through the rigidity and difficulty of legal immigration. coming here illegally because we are looking the other way on the border. We have a historical precedent. In 1986. we reformed immigration with the Simpson Act. We granted 3 million people amnesty. said we were going to secure the border and didnt. Today. we have 12 million because we did not secure that border.

Generalization that undocumented immigrants are trying to 'break in' and are the cause of forged documents.
