"Like many of you, I believe that maintaining secure borders is a critical part of having a secure nation. During my tenure in Congress, I have consistently supported common sense immigration policies that strengthen border security and strictly enforce the laws of our country. For example, I supported H.R. 4437, one of the toughest immigration bills ever passed by the House. I intend to add my voice to strong immigration bills that guarantee strict, enforced immigration policy reform. But, those measures must not reward those who broke our nation's laws by proving them with amnesty."
"On September 21, 2006, I voted for three bills that secured our borders and strengthened our homeland security. These bills were the Community Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 6094), the Immigration Law Enforcement Act of 2006 (H.R. 6095), and the Border Tunnel Prevention Act of 2006 (H.R. 4830). The intent of these bills was to end the policy of "catch and release," which has resulted in tens of thousands of illegal immigrants being released back into our communities rather than be deported."
