Immigration Reform

Floor Speech

Date: Dec. 15, 2009
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Immigration

Madam Speaker, our constituents across the ideological spectrum have told us that our immigration system is broken and it is our responsibility to fix it. Well, we in the United States Congress have taken the first step today with the introduction of a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

This bill would strengthen American families. This bill would stop the undermining of our laws by the presence of 12 million undocumented immigrants. This law will protect our borders. Immigration reform is good for business and good for workers.

Our constituents have made their opinions clear. They are tired of the lack of action in Washington, D.C.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in cosponsoring comprehensive immigration reform to help make America stronger and maintain the integrity of our laws and our Constitution within our borders.
