We expect our fellow citizens to obey the law. We proudly say that this is a nation of laws. Yet. amnesty for millions of illegal aliensfor millions of conscious lawbreakerswould show our own citizens and indeed the world. that our great country cannot muster the will necessary to enforce our own very generous immigration laws. What will the working man and woman in this country think of this massive surrender? What will the children of the working man and woman of this country think of this surrender? Will it teach them respect for the law? Or. will it engender disrespect for the law and for our institutions? My office has been deluged by phone calls and letters opposing amnesty for illegal aliens. The public outcry against amnesty for millions of illegal aliens may well exceed anything that we in this Congess have experienced in recent years. Our duty. as representatives of the citizens of these United States of America. is to protect the interests of the American people. We are not here to legislate bailouts for foreign governments whose internal policies have led to severe problems in their own countries.
