Speech #970256786

Mr. President. in our attempts to solve difficult problems. we must never forget the admonition of Hippocrates "to help. or at least to do no harm." Most Members of Congress will agree that this Nation has lost control of its borders and that legislation to reduce illegal immigration is long overdue. I fervently hope that we can promptly enact an immigration control bill providing for increased enforcement efforts. However. if the political price for passage of greater law enforcement measures is a mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. I am convinced that we would do more harm than good. A distinguished member of the House Committee on the Judiciary.
