Congressional Record entries

Entry Title Date
Border Tunnel Prevention Act Of 2012 May 15, 2012
David Dreier, R-CA
"Madam Speaker, illegal border tunnels pose a risk to our national security and undermine our efforts to protect the border. The threat lies not only in the illegal trafficking of drugs and humans, but also in the potential exploitation by terrorists. That is why I rise in support of H.R. 4119, the Border Tunnel Prevention Act of 2012. In 2006, I authored the House version of the original Border Tunnel Prevention Act, which criminalized the construction of illegal border tunnels into the United States with fines and imprisonment of up to 20 years. The law also carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years for those who recklessly allow others to build these tunnels on their land. In addition, the law doubled the sentence for using a tunnel to smuggle aliens, weapons, drugs, terrorists or illegal goods."
Honoring The Life Of Dick Clark April 27, 2012

Solutions For Small Businesses April 18, 2012
David Dreier, R-CA

Strengthening The U.S.-Mexico Relationship April 16, 2012
David Dreier, R-CA
"Mr. Speaker, I have long aspired to a relationship at the U.S.-Mexican border like the one that the United States of America has with Canada. And I know that raises some red flags, but the fact of the matter is three things need to be done: We need to have economies of scale, an end to illegal immigration, and an end to narcotrafficking."
Adjournment March 30, 2012
David Dreier, R-CA
