This amendment to this appropriations bill is to strengthen our efforts to verify if people in the United States are legal to work in this country. Without a doubt. we have an illegal immigration problem. People are crossing our borders each day to live and work in the United States. Some individuals may have innocent motives. some may not. Some may be living in the shadows and wish to do our country harm. We do not live in a pre9/11 world anymore. We must do all we can to protect our country. That is why I am proposing this amendment.
