Appearances
The American people are a welcoming and generous people.
But those who enter our country illegally
and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law.
And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the U.S.
undetected, undocumented, and unchecked.
Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement
We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky.
Or happiness for the few.
We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives.
Any one of us.
At any time.
May face a job loss or a sudden illness.
Or home swept away in a terrible storm.
This administration, the Bush administration, has done nothing to control the problem that we have.
We've had 5 million undocumented workers come over the borders.
since George Bush took office.
It has become an extraordinary problem.
And the reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic position slip away.
And oftentimes employers are exploiting these undocumented workers.
They're not paying the minimum wage.
