When this legislation is introduced. passed. and when this legislation gets implemented. as it will be. one thing we can tell the American people Is we will have a secure border. Securing our borders is not enough. because the other aim has to he enforcing our laws within the interior of the country. Some people say it is all of the illegals across the southern border that has led to the current reality of 12 million undocumented workers. The fact is. many of the people who are undocumented workers entered this country through legal means. They simply overstayed their visas. Time and time again. it is estimated that probably more than onethird of those who are here illegally actually came into this country legally. We need to create a system that will make sure that at the end of the day. we are enforcing our laws against those who are here illegally.
