Controlling The Nation's Borders
Illegal immigration is a very serious problem and there is no quick fix to defuse the current crisis. The issue is complicated in Congress by geo-specific problems where Border States want the border controlled immediately, while agriculture-heavy states like Georgia want to ensure that there is a steady supply of available labor. I believe that any immigration reform package should include increased border security, a temporary work visa system, tamper-proof, biometric identification cards, employer sanctions for violations and access to positive identification technology. While the challenges to address this issue are clear, it is time for America to secure its borders first and develop a non-amnesty temporary worker program.
I am an active member of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, and am working to find commonsense solutions to help control our nation's borders to prevent illegal immigration and criminal activity. For the my most recent actions on this front, please check out his immigration reform section on my blog
