Mr. Chairman. as you know. a high level of controversy and debate continues to surround H.R. 7357. the Immigration Reform and Control Act that is before us today. Members continue to hold strong reservations about a wide variety of issues raised by this complex and comprehensive measure. and I am concerned that we will not have adequate onportunity to address these issues in the time remaining in the lameduck session. I am concerned that in our haste to adopt some kind of immigration reform. we will inadvertently create poor public policy. My own hesitations about this legislation persist. I am concerned about the costs that my home State of California and the other States will be forced to bear without adequate Federal support as a result of this measures amnesty provisions.
