I would agree with the gentleman from El Paso that we
should then beef up our ports of entry so we can facilitate a faster
flow of legal traffic in and out of America. But the American people need to decide who is coming into America and
who is leaving America. We should not have an immigration policy that
is established by the people who live anywhere but America or by the
people who are anything but citizens of the United States. The citizens
of America should make this decision through their elected
representatives by exercising the enumerated power in the Constitution
that Congress has to establish immigration laws. Internally, our domestic laws need to be enforced. And we need to
recruit local law enforcement by expanding the 287(g) program and the
Secure Communities program.
