“A 231 difference. That is a big difference. Maybe that is an anomaly. Maybe that is just isolated. No, keep going. Let's look at another indicator of who is for border security and who is just kidding. The INS fines for immigration enforcement, making sure that we actually crack down on illegal immigrants: 1999, 417. The actual statistic is in 1999 the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it initiated fines against three companies. Who was President in 1999? President Clinton. A Democrat was President. Who was President in 2004? President Bush. We are talking about going after the firms, the businesses, that aggressively hire illegal immigrants. But maybe that was an isolated incident. Maybe it was just those two indicators that were off the charts, different than the policy that the Republicans talk about. Keep going. Let's look at the Bush administration's record on pursuing immigration fraud cases. In 1995, under President Clinton's administration, 6,455 immigration fraud cases were prosecuted. In 2003, under President Bush, 1,389 cases were prosecuted. At the end of the day, I think the American people will want to examine the facts, and not just listen to the words.”
