Speech #1130113913

The bill before us tonight that the Republican majority has put together reflects our core value as Americans to respect the law. to enforce the law. with a kind heart and commonsense. We believe in the good judgment of our law enforcement officers and our National Guardsmen to use their good hearts and their commonsense as Americans to distinguish between the widow and her child who is escaping a terrible situation at home. We are trusting the good hearts and good sense of our immigration officers to know the difference between a tattooed criminal and a drug dealer and a smuggler. and the child who has come here innocently. brought up in the trust the President of the United States has made inviting them all up here. It is a tragedy for them. it is a tragedy for our border communities. it is a tragedy for the country to let these folks come into the country. This is a law enforcement issue. it is a law enforcement bill.
