I think he would admit that there are differences between the northern border and the southern border. We are blessed to have friends on both our northern and southern borders. The failure of the administration to take a truly bipartisan approach to comprehensive immigration reform and the failure of this body to go forward and work its way all the way through to a final immigration bill reflects some of the problems we have. The way to solve them is not to close the border to a historic neighbor on the longest unguarded frontier in the world. one of our largest trading partners. We already have policies of this administration that are about to cost us hundreds of billions of dollars in jobs in the United States. which do nothing to enhance our security. with the cockamamie idea from the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security requiring passports to cross between Canada and the United States.
