SB+1


 * Bill Number:** SB #1 __Border Reform Act__


 * Sponsers: HBAYMILLER (D - NC) ABAIR (D- NV) GMONIZ (D - NJ)**


 * Topic:** Ilegal Immigration/ Border Control


 * Purpose:** To stop illegal immigration at the U.S/ Mexican border and bring back many jobs to legal U.S citizens.


 * Eligibility:** Any non-U.S citizens who cross the border into the United States illegally.


 * Terms and Benefits:** This bill will help stop illegal immigration by rebuilding the way we think border security. We plan to build an electric fence roughly 1500 miles long. We plan to build checkpoints every 100 miles for border patrolmen to sleep and these checkpoints can also be used for interrogation purposes. We will also propose to buy new weapons to prevent violence from occuring between immigrants and border patrol. Black Hawk helicopters will be purchased to patrol the entire 2000 miles of border. Trucks and humvees will be purchased to transport items from checkpoint to checkpoint as well as being used for security/ patrol purposes. Weapon depots and mechanics garages will be built to hold supplies. This bill will also require any employer within 300 miles of the United States/ Mexico border to enforce stronger background checks on their employees; making sure each is a legal citizen of the U.S.. Many jobs will be brought back to Americans through this bill and many new jobs will be created (construction workers, border patrol, etc.) in a time when jobs can be hard to find.
