I have joined with my distinguished colleague from North Carolina in supporting this opposition to blanket full and complete amnesty in this legislation. I also commend the Senator from Wyoming for his great work in bringing this matter before the Senate. However. the concept of amnesty as espoused in this bill. in my opinion. is ill conceived and ill placed. I know it is understandable to put this problem behind us of illegal aliens in this country and simply grant a blanket amnesty. but as a matter of public policy and public law. I do not think it is sound. First of all. amnesty has the idea of forgiveness because of some unanticipated or some inequitable impact of the law.
