Another reason to secure our borders….
Today we learn that a 12 year old little girl was killed by a illegal immigrant who has already been convicted of being a sexual predator. Read more here.
And today a trial has been rescheduled for an illegal immigrant who is accused of shooting and killing a Huntsville police officer. Read more here.
Bettye Fine Collins who represents Alabama at the RNC has Co-Sponsored a resolution "Urging Immediate Congressional Action to Secure Our Borders". The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, it is reliably estimated that between 12 and 20 million citizens of other countries have entered and currently remain in the United States illegally,
Whereas, it is reliably estimated that between 2 and 3 million illegal crossings of the borders of the U.S. continue to occur each year;
Whereas, the ability of millions of unidentified persons to illegally enter and remain in the U.S. represents a grave risk to the sovereignty of the U.S. and security of American people (see above mentioned-added by author) and
Whereas, Congress has already authorized the construction of 854 miles of border fencing and appropriated one billion dollars to construct it and it is reliably reported that less than 20 miles of such fencing have been completed; now therefore be it
Resolved that the Members of the Republican National Committee urge that the Congress of the U.S., as a matter of the highest priority, take all necesssary steps to provide appropriate authority and means to accomplish the following:
1. Complete the construction of the border fencing that has been authorized as expeditiously as is reasonably possible; and
2. Effectively secure the borders of the United States to illegal entry by every appropriate additional means, fully equipping and and empowering the Border Patrol and using our National Guard and the U.S. Military if necessary.
Can I get an Amen from the crowd!
