HON. GABRIELLE GIFFORDS
of arizona
in the house of representatives
Thursday, March 29, 2007
Ms. GIFFORDS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to call on all Members of
the House to listen to each other's concerns so that we can reach an
agreement on comprehensive immigration reform.
I am proud to be a cosponsor of the bipartisan legislation authored
by Congressman Gutierrez and Congressman Flake, H.R. 1645.
Recently, I held a teleconference forum with District business
leaders, law enforcement officers, I.C.E. and Border Patrol agents, and
representatives from the Arizona Department of Corrections and Governor
Napolitano's office.
Their concerns included needing more help with the burden of
incarcerating illegal immigrants, having trouble finding workers, and
requiring assistance with a quick, easy-to-use employee verification
system, among other issues.
Over the next two weeks in the district, I will be holding additional
community forums, so people can tell me what they think needs to be
done about our Nation's immigration crisis.
I look forward to hearing from members of my community on every side
of the issue--immigrant rights activists, business leaders, the
Minutemen, law enforcement, ranchers, and local residents.
Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar will also be joining me in the
District to hear from folks on the front lines of this issue.
After listening to a range of experts and local residents, I will
recommend possible improvements before we vote on any legislation.
What is clear to me is that the illegal immigration crisis is complex
and impacts almost every aspect of our lives in Arizona. Therefore, a
piecemeal approach will not work.
If we truly want to secure the border and end illegal immigration, we
must pass a common-sense bill that will address every part of the
problem.
Call her state office find out where those meetings are gonna be and go.
