Harry Reid: “As an example on employer sanctions--they are in such desperate shape--last year there were three enforcement measures…”

On the recordJune 21, 2006
As an example on employer sanctions--they are in such desperate shape--last year there were three enforcement measures taken. In our bill, we provide for 7,000 new hires that will deal only with employer sanctions. That is one example. The other example is that with border security, which is in desperate shape as we speak, I have been there. I have seen what happens. There are 24 lanes of traffic coming in at the San Ysidro border security point, 24 lanes of traffic every day, 24 hours a day. They don't have enough help there. We have given them help so they can do their job. That is another example. I feel so desperate, desperate for the American people. I feel desperate for my State. We have problems. This bill would address our problems in Nevada.
