Local 2554 Official Position on “Illegal Immigration Crisis” and

“Secure Our Borders against International Terrorism”

The National Border Patrol Council believes that the following measures must be taken in order to stop illegal immigration and to secure our borders for protection against international terrorism: 

    1. Eliminate the employment magnet that attracts million of illegal aliens to this country annually.
    2. Eliminate the benefit magnets that encourage illegal aliens to remain in this country.
    3. Refrain from rewarding those who have broken our immigration laws.
    4. Prior to considering an expanded guest worker program, ensure that the employment magnet is eliminated and that an expanded program would not depress wages in the United States.
    5. Provide adequate funding for the personnel and equipment necessary to secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws, and protect against international terrorism.
    6. Enhance the level of planning, coordination, and cooperation between Federal, State and local government.
