저는 이민 정책에 관해서는 아무래도 공화당 입장은 받아 들일 수 없었습니다만 HR 3012 가 당장 제 사안과 관련되니 반이민 정책을 내세우는 공화당 의원의 도움을 받아야 되는군요.
이 분의 답이 HR 3012 폐기로 연결될 수 있을지는 모르겠습니다만 다른 분들을 위해 일단 올립니다.
직접 사무실로 전화해서 의원실에 계신 분과 통화해 상원의원에게 꼭 전해 달라 했습니다.
Dear :
Thank
you for contacting my office regarding immigration. I appreciate hearing from you and appreciate the
opportunity to respond.First
and foremost it is imperative that we secure our borders. While there have been statements made
by those in the Democratic leadership that an immigration bill will be considered this year, I do not
believe that immigration legislation will come before me in the 112th
Congress.I
support a border security plan to combat illegal immigration, drug and alien smuggling and violent activity
on the Southwest border. As we have seen in places such as Texas, New Mexico, California and Arizona,
Mexican drug cartel violence has only escalated and threatens communities not just in the Southwest but
also in Georgia. We must respond accordingly to ensure the safety of all American citizens.
I do not believe in offering amnesty or any special pathway to citizenship for individuals who are here
illegally, and I believe that all immigrants should pursue citizenship by getting in line and complying
with the same rules that are already in place. I have always drawn a clear distinction between
legal and illegal immigration, and anyone who comes to our country legally should be welcomed to share
in the pursuit of the American dream. At the same time, the defense of our nation begins with securing
our borders and ending the opportunity for illegal entry. Our immigration laws must be followed and they
must be enforced, and I stand in full support of those who do both.I
have been working hard to address one of the most important domestic issues in the United States.
I will continue my efforts because I believe it is absolutely critical to our state and to this nation
that we secure the borders, not offer amnesty, and restore credibility to our immigration system.Thank
you again for contacting me. Please visit my webpage at http://isakson.senate.gov for more information
