Mr. President. in taking up the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. S. 2222. the Senate is attempting to solve one of the most complex problems facing the United States today. Immigration. without question. is one of those rare policies which ultimately impacts upon almost every aspect of our society and economy. and to a large degree determines what kind of a country we are. The question that faces us on this extremely complicated issue is how to assure the most beneficial results while minimizing the detrimental consequences. However. I am certain the distinguished chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Reform. Senator SIMPSON. found out a long time ago that there are no easy answers. As he has threaded his way through this maze of special interests. he has discovered that for every solution to a particular problem. there are at least two or more groups opposed it.
