Barbara Boxer responds on border security!
Thank you for sharing your views about
immigration with me. I recognize the unique
situation California faces regarding both legal
and illegal immigration.

I firmly believe that legal immigrants
make many valuable contributions to our great
nation. Through our diversity, we find our
strength. For this reason, I support an open
policy toward legal immigration.

However, I share your concerns regarding
the number of illegal immigrants who enter our
country every year. I understand the impact
that illegal immigrants have on our state, which
is particularly vulnerable in its position along
the Mexican border. The federal government
should make greater efforts to secure our
borders, and I support the funding necessary to
do so.

Moreover, to make sure the federal
government fulfills its obligation to states, I
have cosponsored a bill to authorize funds for
the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program,
which reimburses states for incarcerating
illegal immigrants.

Please be assured that I will work to
ensure adequate funding for efforts to stop the
flow of illegal immigrants into our country and
to help states bear the financial costs
associated with illegal immigration.

Again, thank you for writing.



Sincerely,


Barbara Boxer
United States Senator

she supports what's right? don't we all. more money to secure the border? how? hire enough border patrol agents so they lock arms from the gulf of mexico to tijuana, or vancouver to the atlantic?
