Dear Mr. XXXX:



Thank you for writing to me to express your opposition to S.9, the Stronger Economy, Stronger Borders Act of 2009. I appreciate hearing from you.



In the last Congress, the Senate considered a bill to reform America's immigration system. After weeks of negotiations and debate, the Senate voted against moving the bill forward. In the current Congress, S.9 has been introduced in order to begin the discussion on how to reform an immigration system that everyone agrees is broken.



I believe our immigration problems will only get worse unless we work together to resolve them. Be assured that I will continue to fight to improve our immigration system in a manner that strengthens our border security, reduces illegal immigration, and protects American workers in this time of economic uncertainty. (That sounds very pro enforcement to me. Still, I don't think she has given up on amnesty, but a year ago, her e-mails included a legalization statement, and now it doesn't. Baby steps!)



Again, thank you for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me again about this or any other issue of concern to you.


Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
