Session #97 · 1981–83

Speech #970252252

Mr. President. the House Committee on the Judiciary recently approved H.R. 6154. the socalled Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. which contains a blanket amnesty for illegal aliens. Congressman WILLIAM J. HuoREs and Congressman HAhOLD S. SAWYER. along with 10 other members of the committee. disagreed with the decision to grant mass amnesty. They take the position. which I find convincing. that we must devote greater resources to enforcing our immigration laws. Amnesty would make a bad problem worse. I hope that all of my colleagues will read the views of these distinguished public servants before the Senate again considers immigration legislation. I ask that their views be placed in the REcoRD at the conclusion of this statement.
