Mr. Speaker. the time to fix our broken immigration system is now. This is the time to make sure that families are unified and children arent taken from their parents. the time to make sure we secure our southern border to prevent the illegal flow of people and drugs. the time to make sure that we know who is in our country and to make sure that they dont represent a security threat to American citizens. The time is long overdue. I hope that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle appreciate that we need to work together to restore the rule of law. secure our border. and make sure there is a path to legalization for the 11 million people who work hard every day and contribute to make our country even greater. In doing immigration reform. we can reduce our deficit by over $200 billion. That is an estimate of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Part of those savings go to securing our southern border and enforcing our laws. which remain completely unenforced because they are unenforceable. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to work together to finally fix our broken immigration system with one that works. restore the rule of law. and recognize that we are a Nation of laws and a Nation of immigrants.
