Chris Cannon:

It is not the job of businesses to enforce U.S. immigration laws.


"It's a very, very emotional issue," he said. "For business it's not emotional, but it's huge."


"People come in container shiploads all the time," Cannon said in response to his wife's question about patrolling the coasts. "If people want to come here, they're going to come here."

The key, he said, isn't blindly giving citizenship to everyone already in the country, but to allow the economy to grow naturally and grant citizenship, legal permanent resident and temporary worker status at a rate the economy can support.

"I don't think just building fences solves the unauthorized conveyance of people into the United States."

"House Republicans are already spooked about immigration, and should one of our own lose on the issue, you will see panic break out," one GOP congressman told me.
