reform instead focusing primarily on border enforcement and security and not

family reunification, naturalization , and work programs;

WHEREAS, H.R. 4437 does not address or acknowledge the economic needs

that encourage businesses and immigrants alike to ignore our immigration

laws. Instead, it seeks to criminalize hard-working immigrants and the good

samaritans that help them; and

WHEREAS, H.R. 4437 would force local law enforcement personnel to enforce

federal immigration laws-diverting their attention and resources from far more

pressing crimes. Enforcing federal immigration law is the responsibility of the

federal government; and

WHEREAS, federal immigration policies should uphold the United States'

tradition as a nation of immigrants and reaffirm our nation's support and

commitment to the family unit, economic opportunity, fair work conditions, and

respect for all humanity; and
