Kudos to the members of Congress who are proposing legislation targeting illegal immigrants. There may not be a lot of easy solutions but there are things the federal government can do to begin to eat away at this problem

Representative Peter King of New York is proposing a bill to prevent states from issuing driver's licenses. (Click here for info on bill.) While Spitzer has withdrawn his proposal in spite of support from Hillary Clinton (click here for article on Clinton support) there will be more to come in the future. A driver's license can open the curtain to the voting booth. We must protect the voting booth from fraudulent voting. Go Congressman King!

Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has worked on behalf of small business to protect an employer's right to demand workers speak English. (Click to read.) She is now going to propose a bill to allow local law enforcement to detain illegal aliens. Her recent efforts to help defend our country against illegal aliens deserve recognition!
