The 9-11 Commission made several recommendations with regard to immigration that, in the Commission's opinion, would increase security and help prevent a future attack. Many of the Commission's immigration recommendations were included in H.R. 10 such as provisions to: prohibit driver's licenses to illegal aliens; expedite removal of illegal aliens; increase Border Patrol and ICE agents; and prevent Federal agencies from accepting or recognizing consular ID as valid proof of identity.
Every one of the immigration provisions recommended by the 9-11 Commission would help reduce illegal immigration and improve homeland security. Together, they would make major strides toward reducing the current illegal alien population of some 14 million and toward preventing future illegal immigration.
Now House and Senate Conferees will hammer out in Conference Committee a final bill based on H.R. 10 and S. 2845. It is especially important that the Conferees hear from other Members of Congress who support the immigration provisions of H.R. 10 so that they will be encouraged to keep the provisions in the final bill.
ATTENTION! ALL FLORIDA VOTERS PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION! SEN. BOB GRAHAM is on that conference committee.....He needs to hear from all of us to keep the immigration controls in the reported out bill. 202/224-3041 FAX 202/224-2237 e-mail graham@senate.gov
