U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, who represents much of the Florida Panhandle, on HR 1417--
“This common-sense measure would grant states and local law enforcement
agencies the authority to enforce federal immigration laws, while also
protecting communities from dangerous criminal aliens by making it more
difficult for foreign nationals who pose a national security risk to
enter the country and making it easier to deport those who are currently
here. The bill also protects American taxpayers by
ensuring that no immigration benefits can be provided to immigrants
until all required background and security checks are completed, and it
also allows Border Patrol agents to better do their job by prohibiting
the Department of Interior and the Department of Agriculture from
preventing these agents access to federal lands within 100 miles of the
border.
Rather
than looking to grant amnesty for millions of individuals who have
broken our laws, thereby encouraging even more individuals to immigrate
illegally in the future in hopes that they too will one day be granted
amnesty, the SAFE Act would improve our internal immigration enforcement
and prevent dangerous criminals from taking root in American
communities.”
