        <text><![CDATA[ <p>Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that to deter further illegal immigration and strengthen the U.S. economy the following must be included in any immigration bill considered by the 110th Congress: (1) increased resources for federal and state authorities to strengthen border patrol efforts; (2) vigorous prohibition of the hiring of illegal aliens coupled with the establishment of an instant employment eligibility verification system; (3) a renewed and limited temporary worker program; (4) a prohibition of blanket amnesty for illegal aliens that does not harm the innocent victims of circumstance; and (5) priority for law-abiding, highly-skilled immigrants.</p>]]></text>
