Mr. Gheen,
Please find a statement from Senator Burr below. Should you have any
questions do not hesitate to contact me.

"Our immigration system is broken.

We should not reward those who have broken our laws. I do not support
the DREAM Act that would provide financial rewards, like cheaper
tuition, to those who come here illegally.

Our first priority should be placing those qualified Americans who are
available for work in good paying jobs. Individuals who work under
temporary visa programs should not displace any American workers. These
protections must be enforced.

This week the Senate will debate the Defense Authorization Act of 2008.
This important legislation should focus primarily on national security
and the support of our men and women in the military. The Defense bill
is not the right time or place to debate immigration policy."
