I have stated unequivocally that without legalization I would not support this measure. I am a realist. I understand that we do have maybe 10 million undocumented workers. and I believe that it is Important that we recognize too that unless we take action we are going to have a greater force. odious alternatives. such as an investigative force. going out to round up these people and then to deport them. I ask my friends. do we want to continue to allow employers to take advantage of those who have come here seeking a better lot in life. Do we not want to give them an opportunity to come forward and be legalized?
