Mr. President. as we try to repair a broken immigration system and replace it with a new system that learns from the mistakes of the past. I believe it is time for this body and this country to get serious about enforcing border security violations. After 9/11. the immigration debate has taken on a different tone. After 9/11. it is no longer about economic and social problems associated with illegal immigration. It is about national security problems associated with illegal immigration. In the Fort Dix. NJ. case. there were allegations made that six people were conspiring to attack Fort Dix. Apparently. three of those people came in illegally as children or crossed the southern border. and three of the people charged with crimes overstayed their visas. So it is more than securing the border. That is a central concept to this bill.
