Fact Sheet: Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Full article Family Security Matters Office of the Press Secretary Excerpts: Each day at America’s ports of entry CBP officers inspect more than 1.1 million travelers, including 340,000 vehicles and over 85,000 shipments of goods approved for entry; process more than 70,000 truck, rail and sea containers; collect more than $88 million in fees, duties, and tariffs; seize more than 5,500 pounds in illegal narcotics; and intercept more than 4,400 agricultural items and pests at ports of entry.
Securing the Border * DHS has completed more than 167 miles of pedestrian fence and 134 miles of vehicle fence on the southwest border, for a total of approximately 302 miles.
by James Jay Carafano, Ph.D. Steps Suggested by Dr. Carafano * Negotiate and sign bilateral agreements for new countries to enter the program. * Verify that participating countries can track the exits of their citizens to the U.S. to ensure that they do not overstay and reside unlawfully in the United States.By law, countries with excessive overstay rates must be dropped from the program. * Establish an electronic travel authorization system to allow for pre-screening of international travelers. These systems are rapidly becoming an international norm. Australia, for example, has already successfully implemented travel prescreening over the Internet. Hillary and Obama Pander To La Raza La Raza is a group whose agenda is illegal immigration and separatism from American tradition and American values. Like the other phonies who blamed talk radio and racism for the defeat of the open border sham bill that failed La Raza has also resorted to the tactics of the boo-hoo crowd, blaming the failure of that terrible bill on racism. La Raza gets serious amounts of money in Jesse Jackson style, shaking down big companies and getting federal pork. Obama recently bragged how he stood with Latinos in a parade in May. Hillary even hired a Mariachi band to honor the co-chair of La Raza. ### On Monday, July 2, Gov. Janet Napolitano (D) signed what seems to be a tough illegal immigration bill. The governor called it "the most aggressive action in the country." As of January 1, businesses must be run all new hires through a federal database (Basic Pilot) to make certain the new hires are legal. A first offense of hiring an undocumented worker would mean a business license suspension of up to 10 days. A second offense would mean losing one's business license, and no longer being able to do business in Arizona. An Immigration Reform Bill, will soon be introduced in Congress, by House member Mike Pence of Indiana. The plan will include a Guest Worker Program but not an Amnesty Program. The main features are: Illegal aliens here now, must leave and come back legally, under the terms of the guest-worker program. Coming back legally includes having a job opportunity in the U.S. A guest-worker program would be run by the private sector under agencies licensed by the federal government. An entire process of fingerprinting, health screening, matching workers to employers and getting information to the proper authorities, would be done by these agencies. This would lead to a visa if the necessary background check yielded the proper results, all of this done in less than one week, if worked out as planned. Anyone may apply but the necessary visa could be issued only outside the United States, thus enabling an individual to enter legally. There would be no cap on visas issued for the first three years. After three years the number of visas issued would depend on U.S. job needs, determined by the Department of Labor. There would be strict employer enforcement to include a nationwide electronic employment-verification system. Immigration Reform To Mike Pence
