This is one of the many examples that we have. So there is no question in my mind that of the 10,000 people who have
died over the last 20 years on American soil, there were probably
thousands or tens of thousands or more who have died in the hopes that
they could get across the border. If we have a secure border and if we work on our immigration systems,
we can get for those parents and people who want to come to this
country legally an opportunity to get here without harming themselves
or harming their children. If that is not a compassionate case for a
secure border, I don't know what is. Now we are in the final stages of trying to negotiate a deal, and
Chairman Grassley did a wonderful job of summarizing what we have
proposed as a starting position for negotiation with our colleagues on
the other side of the aisle.
