Democrats' Response to State of the Union Address on Immigration

1/31/06 AILA Doc. No. 06020168. Admissions & Border

"The failure of the federal government to implement and enforce a rational immigration policy has resulted in a confusing patchwork of state and local efforts. We should welcome those who seek to lawfully join and contribute to our American family. At the same time, we must ensure that our homeland defense efforts begin with consistent federal action to protect our borders."
