Rep Scott Garrett Says with immigration reform his first priority is to his constituents
“Our immigration process is broken and overly complex. I agree that we need to fix it. As an elected official, my first priority is to my constituents. I am first going to look out for their interests by enforcing our laws. I am first going to make certain that they are safe by advocating for policies that prioritize our national security interests. And I am first going to lay the groundwork for robust economic and education systems for them.
Unfortunately, the administration’s actions—refusing to enforce our current laws—are putting our citizens last, not first. The House has taken steps to change this by addressing the crisis at the border. This bill would better secure the border, assist our border patrol agents in their law enforcement duties, and expedite the judicial processing and deportation of illegal migrants. As this immigration debate continues, we must follow today’s actions with a broader, step-by-step approach to our immigration problems, where securing our borders, fixing our legal immigration system, and putting the American people first are the chief priorities.”
