President. this country urgently needs to come to grips with this difficult and serious problem. Like most Senators. I am eager to support a reform bill that will restore order. commonsense. and fairness to Americas immigration policy. If amnesty and employer sanctions are essential ingredients in that solution. I am even willing to support such controversial programs. But S. 2222. in my opinion. does not present a workable plan for addressing these issues and solving these problems It was primarily for the reasons I have set out that I have opposed Senate passage of S. 2222. it is for those same reasons that I will be reading the conference report on the immigration reform bill closely and with great interest. in the hope that these fundamental deficiencies have been cured and that we can move forward at long last to reform that is both workable and fair.
