SCR 1006
Introduced by Senators Allen, Gray, Griffin; Representatives Ash, Barton: Senators Driggs, Klein, McComish, Melvin, Murphy, Smith, Yarbrough; Representative Harper
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
supporting the restore our border (ROB) security plan produced by the arizona cattle growers' association.
Whereas, crime and lawlessness have become rampant along the United States-Mexico border in recent years, and the resulting financial burden on the area's rural citizens and ranching operations has become substantial; and
Whereas, since organized criminals have extended their operations into southern Arizona, the resulting incidents of burglary, home invasions, drug smuggling, human smuggling, murder, extortion and kidnapping have created intolerable levels of fear and frustration among southern Arizona's residents and ranching families; and
Whereas, immediate and meaningful action is needed to establish border security and to begin to address the uncontrolled and dangerous crime levels in the region; and
Whereas, the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association has produced the Restore Our Border (ROB) Security Plan for local, state and federal authorities that will work toward securing our border with Mexico and providing security for Arizona's citizens; and
Whereas, based on the fundamental premise that the Nation must protect its citizens from foreign threats, the plan outlines numerous specific actions that local, state and federal entities can implement in order to achieve border security; and
Whereas, among the steps are the immediate deployment of United States military units to the border; authorization of use of force by government officials in apprehending persons in the country illegally; enforcement of all existing immigration laws; the addition of at least 3,000 Border Patrol field agents in Arizona; provision of felony prosecution of detainees; full‑time surveillance by electronic, optical and other technology; establishment of citizens' advisory boards, in cooperation with rancher liaison groups, in every Border Patrol Station; streamlining of the federal claims process for recovering damages caused by illegal alien crime; and adequate funding of state and federal attorneys' offices to ensure timely prosecution of border-related offenses.
Therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Arizona, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the Legislature supports the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association's plan to secure the United States-Mexico border and to restore order and safety for residents and ranchers of Arizona's border region.

SCM 1004
Introduced by Senator Gallardo
A CONCURRENT MEMORIAL
urging the congress of the united states to introduce and adopt the dream act.
To the Members of the United States Congress:
Your memorialist respectfully represents:
Whereas, known as the Wilson Four, Oscar Corona, Jaime Damian, Yuliana Huicochea and Luis Nava were illegally brought to the United States from Mexico by their undocumented parents when they were children. As successful high school students at Wilson Charter High School, they were competing in an international solar-powered boat competition in Buffalo, New York when they were detained by immigration officials at the United States-Canadian border in 2002. An exhaustive legal struggle followed in which the children sought to be permitted to remain in the United States; and
Whereas, because of their plight, the Wilson Four have become synonymous with the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM, Act. First introduced in 2001, the bill would allow undocumented high school graduates who were brought to the United States as minors and who have lived here for at least five years to apply for legal status. Although the bill has undergone several changes, including denying undocumented students federal education grants and placing them on an international student tracking system, it has yet to pass Congress; and
Whereas, it is estimated that more than 65,000 undocumented students graduate each year from American high schools. Under current immigration laws, even bright and overachieving children, who have never known another home outside of this country, may be deported because of their parents' illegal action years ago. The DREAM Act would fix a law that now forces these children to pay the price for their parents' mistakes and would instead allow them the opportunity to become contributing members of our society.
Wherefore your memorialist, the Senate of the State of Arizona, the House of Representatives concurring, prays:
1. That the Congress of the United States introduce and enact the DREAM Act into law.
2. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this Memorial to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.
