We have anarchy. We have borders which are porous. This bill will fix that with fencing. with barriers. with 6.000 additional Border Patrol to the 12.000 there now. and we will eliminate the magnet for jobs for illegal immigrants because now we have a way to identify who is legal and who is not legal. So we are in a position to impose tough sanctions on employers who hire those who are illegal. We have the need for a workforce for restaurants. for hotels. for landscapers. for farms. The Chamber of Commerce doesnt like the bill because it doesnt provide a sufficient workforce. We have tried to calculate a point system. We have to produce a lot of green cards for the undocumented immigrants. and we have tried to provide a point system which will give due regard for the lowskilled workers for the workforce and due regard for the highskilled workers so we can be competitive. We have also given consideration to family ties. So we have done the best that could be done under these circumstances.
