"Rep. Royce plans to push national-level version of contentious Arizona immigration law"
It's difficult to really know what's going on at America's southern border.
The media seems to be pro-immigration, while the local citizens are suffering with the reality.
Clearly, proposals like this would not be offered if everything was fine...

At Daily Caller.com, Matthew Boyle reported this:
"Before a University of Texas at El Paso audience on Monday, Napolitano said that the border was safe and that border security critics are exaggerating border problems for political purposes.
'It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control,' Napolitano said in prepared remarks. 'This statement – often made only to score political points – is just plain wrong.'
Documentarians and border security experts Stan Wald and Jerry Misner, who covered border issues in their documentary 'Southern Exposure,' told TheDC that what Napolitano said is not even close to the real story of what’s going on along the border.
'From our standpoint, it’s not getting better [along the border], it’s getting worse,' Misner told TheDC. 'We make that assessment solely on the number of crimes, particularly drug trafficking, and criminals who illegal aliens are bringing north with them.'
Wald said that top-level administration officials and spokespeople have spun the storyline that the border is secure so that the administration can move forward with its 'comprehensive immigration reform' plans, or what some consider amnesty for all illegal immigrants.
'If you talk to the boots on the ground, those who are out in the field, not management level and not supervisors, you get the real story, you get the truth,' Wald said."
