Pro Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act of 2007 (H.R. 4088)
to the question "What are the solutions to illegal immigration in America?"
Reasoning:
"Today Democrats and Republicans are joining together, putting politics aside and supporting a commonsense bill [2007 Save Act, H.R. 4088] that is for the good of America... Illegal immigration is one of the most pressing issues facing America today. It is estimated that over 12 million people are currently here illegally, and thousands more are coming in every week... Americans are very upset at their government for not taking action, and they have a right to be... I am introducing this legislation because I have the ability to reach across the aisle and bring both sides together to reach a commonsense solution. This is what the people of Western North Carolina want and what the American people want."
