Mr. President. I have the highest admiration and even gratitude for the distinguished chairman of the Immigration and Refugee Policy Subcommittee. What a whale of a job he has done on this legislation. Producing this legislation is something like presiding over the conference between the House and the Senate on a farm bill. The distinguished chairman has had all sorts of pulls and tugs on him. and I am reluctant to be pulling and tugging a little myself. He has shown perseverance in bringing this comprehensive immigration reform bill to the floor of the Senate. 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 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.
