There has been absolutely zero enforcement since President Bush took office, and it's costing legal, honest citizens good jobs and fair wages.

We've got a lot of positive responses. We've had a few people who don't like what we have to say, but that's to be expected.

We want the business people to know there are a lot of people like us, who are very worried about the negative impact of illegal immigration and who spend money at their business.

The state is having to take the law into its own hands. There has been zero enforcement nationally.

Taxpayer dollars shouldn't be used to reward illegal immigrants who break into this country. We're being taken advantage of, and this bill addresses that.

I'm very familiar with the situation of jobs going overseas. Seeing grown individuals crying in your office because they're unsure of what they're going to do isn't the way to go.
