Senate Immigration Bill Won’t Fix the Problem (Rep. Brian Bilbray)

As Sigmund Freud used to say, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome.”  Only in Washington would people believe that throwing money at the problem is going to solve it.  This is a blatant attempt by Senators to extort votes so they can fast track an amnesty plan.

After more than twenty years of non-enforcement, it’s long past time to pass legislation that will secure the border, implement meaningful interior enforcement and crackdown on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.  What you cannot do is put 12-20 million illegal immigrants who violated our laws on a pathway to citizenship.
