Our Nation has a deep interest in the restoration of the Mexican economy. in the wellbeing of the Mexican people. and the broadest possible range of cooperation between our two governments. The present crisis offers us a major opportunity to act on that interest. and we should not let this opportunity pass us by. Mr. President. earlier this week the Senate adopted a bill that will have extraordinary implications on our Nations Immigration policies. especially as they relate to Mexico. The bill was promoted as a way of gaining control over illegal migration to the United States. I opposed that bill because I did not feel it constituted a fair or adequate course of action.
