Dear Mr. Broyles:

Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns regarding immigration enforcement.  I appreciate you taking the time to contact me and I’m honored to respond.

Like you, I am deeply concerned about  America ‘s lack of immigration enforcement.  I have been, and will continue to be, a strong supporter of initiatives to strengthen enforcement and an opponent of efforts to reqard those who break our immigration laws.  You will be happy to learn that I have cosponsored a number of bills that would do just that, including:

• H.R. 140, the Birthright Citizenship Act would clarify that children born in the  United States to illegal immigrants are not granted citizenship, ending the process of birthright citizenship.

• H.R. 100, the CLEAR Act of 2011 would provide resources for state and local agencies to assist in the enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.

• H.R. 280 and H.R. 282 would each require contractors to participate in the E-Verify program as a condition of any work for the federal government (H.R. 282), and within the United States Capitol Complex (H.R. 280).

• H.R. 787, The No Social Security for Illegal Immigrants Act, would ensure that illegal immigrants would not receive social security.

• H.R. 692, the Nuclear Family Priority Act would end the process of “chain migration” where countless non-nuclear family members of immigrants are allowed to immigrate into the  United States .

• H.R. 152, the National Guard Border Enforcement Act would direct the Secretary of Defense to make National Guard troops available for border security upon the request of a  US Governor.

Please know that I will continue to do all I can to secure borders and to oppose amnesty for those who break our immigration laws.

Again, thanks for sharing your concerns with me. If you have any questions on other immigration legislation, please feel free to contact me.

 
Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones
