The national security of the United States of America demandsdemandsthat we move forward and secure those borders. So we have done it in this legislation. and we have included the funding to be able to secure those borders. Second of all. for more than the last 20. 25 years. what has happened is that the United States of America has looked the other way as our immigration laws have been broken time after time. So for the first time. what we have done with this legislation is we have said we are going to enforce the laws. We are going to have tough employer sanctions against employers who hire those who are unauthorized to work in our country. We are even going to criminalize their conduct. So we will enforce the laws of our Nation. Thirdly. we take the 12 million undocumented workers who are here in America. and we say: You are going to pay a fine. You are going to be punished. You are going to learn English.
