New Hampshire U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes ‘amazed’ in border tour of San Diego area

Hodes is a co-sponsor of the federal Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement (SAFE) Act. The act would add 8,000 border patrol agents, make new technology available at border installations and expanding the E-Verify program that lets business check immigration status of potential workers.

Hodes said that in addition to beefing up patrols at the border, he thinks immigration officials need better access to more intelligence tools. Databases of information should be shared among government agencies like law enforcement, border patrol and other defenses against illegal immigration, he said.

Immigration has become a hotly debated topic this political season, especially among Republican presidential nominees.”*
