Last year a bipartisan group of Senators including myself introduced the JOLT Act which modernizes and expands the visa waiver program, reduces visa wait times.

I think that is something where we have all been talking about in the past week the difference of actually knowing who is here and being able to get that information which really eludes us right now.

It is very important that DHS, the Department of Labor, and the Justice Department should use their auditing and prosecutorial authorities to combat the misuse of all visa programs.

I really focused on the economics of this bill and how important it was to our country's economy to move forward on reform.

Thank you very much, all three of you.

I reintroduced this bill, led the bill with Senators Heitkamp, Moran, and Collins.

I think the current Gang of Eight increases the amount of green cards but not H-1B.

I have been hearing from ag producers for years about the problems with the H-2A program.

Legalization was our number one issue to try to deal with so that we keep the workers that are here right now.

Thank you.

I have been so impressed by your work, and you can imagine that some people still get concerned about what this could mean for American jobs with the guest worker agreement.

If there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.

Very good. Going after fraud and abuse in Government programs is extremely important, including in the immigration area.

I think the bill does an excellent job of putting more resources at the border and specifying resources to be used in a Stonegarden type of arrangement with our State and local law enforcement authorities along the border.

I think that immigrants tend to bring with them new ideas, new entrepreneurialism.

We want to focus on allowing American companies to grow here and add jobs here.

I think the first thing that we seldom talk about is that we need the workforce.

I believe that the new tax and fee revenues that will be generated by this immigration reform will help us fund those services and thereby strengthen our Government.
