The first part of CIR is to fix border enforcement. Many Americans believe that the borders of the country must be secured before anything else is done and CIR agrees with this. However, at the moment it is not possible because there is not enough money set aside. CIR would make the government able to pay for more border patrol agents, more government immigration attorneys, and more judges for immigration courts. It would also give money to build along the border, whether it is more checkpoints, more video cameras, or more fences. It would also make it mandatory for all employers to verify that all of their employees are permitted to work by checking with the Social Security Administration (SSA), a program called E-Verify. Finally, it would require the creation of a community-based program to be an alternative to detention. (Detention is similar to jail, except it is for illegal immigrants and not criminals.)
