The mainstream media and open borders groups constantly reiterate to the American people that there are only two solutions to our nation's illegal alien crisis – give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up and deport them.
In April of 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB1070 into law, igniting a hot debate over immigration enforcement in the United States. One of the toughest immigration enforcement laws passed on the local level, the purpose of the immigration enforcement law is to:
Ensure “the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona;”
“Make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona;” and
“Discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.”
The SAVE Act is the middle-ground answer to the illegal immigration issue. This not only will be the most effective solution, but it is what polls show most Americans want. When given the choice among (a) mass roundups and mass deportations, (b) mass legalizations, and (c) Attrition Through Enforcement & Self Deportation, the public chooses the middle-ground Attrition option.
The bi-partisan SAVE Act was introduced by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) in the House and Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) in the Senate. It is one of our "5 Great Immigration Reduction Bills".
