U.S. BORDER CONTROL
America's last best chance to reform our border
and immigration policies ... before it's too late.


"U.S. Border Control has been a tremendous help in getting cosponsors for immigration legislation and building support for immigration reforms." Congressman Tom Tancredo, Colorado



Dear Friends:



Congressman Gresham Barrett (R-SC) continues to demonstrate both his strength and leadership on immigration matters. Rep. Barrett has just introduced H.R. 688, the SAFER Act. SAFER stands for Securing America’s Future through Enforcing Reform Act of 2005.



Specifically, his bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide:

** Better screening of Aliens seeking Admission – increase number of DHS agents; in person interviews for those seeking visas; no admission to national security risks;

** Securing the border against terrorists, drug traffickers, and other illegal aliens - by increasing enforcement personnel, increasing criminal sentences and fines for smuggling; and authorize the use of troops while the border patrol reaches optimal strength;

** better tracking of aliens in country - enhances foreign student tracking systems; requires temporary visa holders to obtain a Visa Term Compliance Bond; implements a comprehensive entry-exit control system;

** tougher laws and enforcement of employers who hire illegal aliens;

** reallocation of DHS resources so it can focus on the security interests of the United States,

** Reform legal immigration - by codifying the oath of allegiance taken by new citizens; stops countries that sponsor terrorism to obtain visas; reduces legal immigration by 20%;

** bar the admission, and facilitate the removal, of alien terrorists as well as their supporters and fundraisers.



As you can see, this legislation is comprehensive and powerful. And it needs our support.



For months, Congress has been stalling on immigration reform. Some of the procrastinators say they don’t like to do things piecemeal – they want a comprehensive bill. Well, here it is.



I told Rep. Gresham we would help him find cosponsors and now I am asking for your help. Please send your email to your Representative and urge him/her to become a cosponsor to this important bill today.
