| Necessary Conditions for Immigration Reform
Senate Republican Policy Committee (Jon Kyl, Chairman), April 15, 2005, 11p.
"The federal government’s failure to enforce existing immigration laws has resulted in a crisis on our southern border and growing disrespect for our immigration laws throughout the nation. … The result has been devastating: breakdown in national security, exorbitant financial costs to local, state, and national governments, and a decline in respect for the Rule of Law and the ability – and willingness – of government to protect it. … The federal government should address these challenges by (1) making a greater financial commitment to border security; (2) demonstrating through resources and effort that it intends to enforce immigration laws in the interior; (3) demanding better cooperation from the Mexican government; and (4) compensating states and localities for the financial burdens that illegal immigration places on the communities.”
