Mr. President. today. we are giving final consideration to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1983. We have arrived at the best consensus possible that will provide vigorous enforcement of our immigration laws. Senator SIMPSON can be proud of his efforts. Without his long and tireless work this legislation could not have been fashioned. We have placed a cap on immigration and have endeavored to bring order to the immigration process by dealing with the illegal alien problem and many others. Yesterday Senator BAucus and I. with the cooperation of the managers. Senator SIMPSON and Senator KENNEDY. were able to delete the mandatory provision in the bill to charge entry fees to all aliens crossing our borders.
