These are the
terrible facts of this tragedy, Mr. Speaker, and there is nothing we
can do in this body to change them. What we can do is move forward towards an immigration policy that is
based on sound principles. For the radicals, this will be a radical
change. For everyday Americans, this is just common sense. On this front, there are three fundamental principles to a sane
immigration policy. First, Americans have the right to determine who
becomes citizens through laws. It is right there in the Constitution. Article I, section 8, provides Congress with the explicit authority to
regulate naturalization. A country without borders is not a country. It
is just a geographic destination.
