Our illegal immigrant population is the highest it has ever been. One in 25 residents currently living in the United States is here illegally. Over the last 7 years, immigration has been the highest in history – 10.9 million immigrants arrived, over half of them (5 million plus) without legal status.

Border Security and Enforcement First Immigration Caucus members recognize that Congress has presented the American people with a false choice in solving the illegal immigration problem – give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up and deport them en masse.   The principle mission of the Caucus is to promote a true, achievable alternative: attrition through enforcement.  Living illegally in the United States will become more difficult and less satisfying over time when the government – at ALL LEVELS – enforces all of the laws already on the books.

The Caucus is a platform to let Americans know that some in the U. S. Senate are continuing to make sure that the laws already on the books will be enforced, act as the voice of those concerned citizens who have expressed their opinions time and time again for interior enforcement and border security, push for stronger boarder security and interior enforcement legislation, and work together in the U.S. Senate to defeat future legislation that may be considered amnesty.
