Immigration & Border Security



04.01.08 Sen. Hutchison Speaks at the Border Trade Alliance International Conference at Galludet University.


Border security is paramount to protecting our homeland. Sen. Hutchison believes that immigration reform is the best way to secure our borders and continue our economic prosperity. However, she does not support amnesty for those whose first act in America was breaking our laws. During the debate on immigration reform in 2007, Sen. Hutchison introduced a series of amendments to strip amnesty provisions from an immigration reform proposal. Sen. Hutchison, along with Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, also introduced a comprehensive immigration reform plan in 2006 to first secure America’s borders and then create a temporary guest worker program that required illegal aliens to return to their home country in order to apply. Sen. Hutchison is continuing her work to secure our borders, respect the rule of law and preserve economic prosperity.
