Mr. President. earlier this year. a bipartisan group of Senators took up the issue of illegal immigration. It was clear from the debate that ensued that there are deeply held beliefs on both sides. It was also apparent that this is not a problem with a simple solution. it is one that requires time and consideration. And to live up to the expectation of our constituents. it seemed clear to me that Congress must take steps to secure our borders and provide for our national security first. The Senate seemed to get the message. because it voted overwhelmingly in July to dedicate $3 billion in emergency spending to help promote our border and interior security.
