Americans told Congress that we needed to build up our southern border fence. Congress set aside money to build 700 new miles of fences on our southern border. And still nothing has been done with that money to make our border more secure. This is unacceptable to me, and it should be unacceptable for any member of Congress. Equally unacceptable for the American people is any plan to directly or indirectly grant amnesty by any name to illegal immigrants, especially when so many Americans are struggling to find work in this economy.

We must secure our borders as a matter of national security, and once we accomplish that we must get to the business of deporting any illegal immigrants who have been convicted of felonies in our courts, so we can make a real impact in the fight to make our nation safer and more secure.
