Thank you for contacting me about immigration. I appreciate hearing from you
on this important matter.
Though hardly a new issue, the past few years have explored an increasing
intensity of the immigration debate. Strengthening the resolve of both
proponents and critics alike, there have been many voices, like yours, that
have served to enrich the discussion of a topic not lacking in controversy
or emotion. But our immigration system is broke, and Congress has a
responsibility to try to fix the problem.
In the last few sessions of Congress, a number of significant reforms were
presented to the American public, testing both the nation's ideological and
tangible stance on immigration. It will be the job of every American citizen
, then, to work together to shape the next few years according to a
collective agreement on the breadth and meaning of citizenship.
There are many elements of immigration that touch our society, from
birthright citizenship to the E-verify employment system, in addition to the
implications of health care reform, and the impact on education, labor, and
institutions of homeland security. Although no singular compromise solution
has yet emerged, when analyzing any proposal that might come forward, I
will continue to be guided by a number of beliefs:
o We must secure our borders and prevent further illegal immigration. In
this age of terrorism, the United States must be able to police its borders.
I support efforts to improve the technology and personnel guarding the
border.
o We cannot, however, simply build new walls along our southern border to
solve our immigration problem. Foreign workers will always be drawn to the
promise of jobs in America that pay higher wages. Fixing our broken
immigration system will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the
reasons why people try to enter the United States in the first place.
o Employers need a reliable way to determine the legal status of their
potential workers; and those who knowingly hire illegal workers should be
penalized. Employers in southern Minnesota and around the country need good
workers. While many employers make a good-faith effort to confirm that their
workers are legal residents, the government must provide sound assistance
to do so.
o We should not undertake an amnesty program for illegal immigrants in
this country. However, undocumented workers who have lived and worked in the
United States for many years should be brought out of the shadows. Millions
of undocumented workers have paid taxes and lived peacefully in the United
States—many of them for decades. We should create a process of "earned
citizenship" for these individuals, as long as they agree to pay a fine and
any outstanding back taxes, learn English, and go through a formal
application process that may involve briefly returning to their home country
.
Again, as this important debate continues in the years to come, I will keep
your thoughts and views in mind, and I will continue to be guided by the
principles I have outlined above.
Thank you again for sharing your views with me, and I look forward to
hearing from you again in the future. For more information about my work
