I became committed as a member of the county board of supervisors in San Diego to finally say stand up and say this is wrong. this is immoral. this is outrageous. Americans should be ashamed that we do not control our frontier. that we do not guarantee our sovereignty on U.S. soil. And the Immigration issue is an issue of sovereignty. It is a concept of protecting the land that our forefathers have given to us and also protecting those rights and those privileges that should and can be rendered to those who are citizens and legal residents. But. sadly. we have found excuses to look the other way. Be it political correctness or some sick concept that encouraging illegal activity somehow is going to be good for America. it is sad that we allow not only illegal immigration but all the illegal activity that happens along the border. I am really encouraged. though. to see colleagues like the gentleman from Georgia and Mr. KING. people from the interior. that get it. that understand that the immigration problem is not something at the border that can only be addressed at the border. but is something that is in our neighborhoods every day. that it is on the street corners. we see it every day. and that the American people. though they have been ignored on this issue for too long. are saying we are going to hold both parties accountable if you do not address that. I think in all fairness. as a Republican. I think we can all agree that a degree of the problems in the last election was that voters did not believe Republicans were doing enough and are going to demand that Democrats and Republicans put their partisanship on the side and take care of this problem.
