Speech #970206779

Mr. President. today I am submitting an amendment which would remove from S. 2222 the provisions for amnesty of illegal aliens. While I commend the distinguished Chairman of the Immigration and Refugee Policy Subcommittee for his perseverance in bringing a comprehensive immigration reform bill to the floor of this body. I must respectfully disagree with the decision to grant amnesty to millions of foreigners who entered our country illegally and who are living here illegally. My amendment therefore would delete the amnesty provisions of S. 2222. Basically. it would delete title III in its entirety. the title that supplies the authority for legalization.
