Missouri Senator Sponsors Border Security Bill
November 21, 2005 11:42 AM EST


U.S. Senator Jim Talent (R-Mo.) announced last Friday that he is sponsoring comprehensive legislation to secure America’s borders with additional manpower, new barriers and high-tech surveillance equipment. The bipartisan Border Security and Modernization Act of 2005 would also increase resources for border detention centers and would enact stricter penalties and fines for those who break our immigration laws. Sen. Talent is sponsoring the legislation along with co-sponsors Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.).

"I share the concerns of many Missourians that the United States requires a border management system that protects us from terrorist attacks, illegal immigration, illegal drugs and other contraband," said Sen. Talent. "A lot of people view border security as an immigration issue. It’s not. It’s a national security issue. Our bill represents a comprehensive approach to protect our borders and our people."

"We want and need additional resources for more officers, better training and more equipment to protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws," Sen. Talent said. "This bill is long over due and proposes real solutions for America’s border security."

This is Great!

Finally someone from the "show me" state is using that common sense and no bull attitude Missourians are known for to get this job done.

Missouri is my home state and I know the people in Missouri are extremely FedUp. Even little towns like my home town are being flooded with illegals. They come up from Arkansas...a "sanctuary" under Governor Huckabee.

Lets stay tuned and see what happens!
