Although we are taking leaps into the unknown with new provisions. such as employer sanctions. I believe it is worth the attempt. The present situation is so bad that things certainly could not get worse. An amnesty provision. however. is not the answer to our immigration problems. It is a leap I will not take. Millions of people around the world clamor for the honor of becoming a U.S. citizen. U.S. citizenship is one of the most soughtafter prizes in the world. Yet if we agree to the amnesty provision. we hand. on a silver platter. the coveted prize of citizenship to some 3 to 12 million lawbreakers.
