Hyrum raid: Congress is guilty of immigration crime – Utah
Tagged: agriculture, border, citizenship, crime, UtahPosted on: December 18th, 2006“But the biggest crime of all is that Congress has not faced up to the task of fixing the broken U.S. immigration system.
The United States needs to secure its borders. And, yes, it should not look the other way when people enter the country illegally. Without enforcement actions, like the one in Hyrum, the law is meaningless.
But the nation also needs a realistic system to allow more foreign-born people to work legally in this country, to obtain legal residence and citizenship, than do now. Some industries, particularly agriculture and hospitality, rely on the supply of immigrant labor, much of it illegal. That needs to be reformed so that the labor supply can meet the demand within the law. “
