This does not mean that S. 529 bears my mark of unequivocal approval. for as I stated moments ago. there are provisions which I would draft quite differently. But. Mr. President. it does mean that this bill represents the broadest possible bipartisan effort in immigration reform that this body has passed in many decades. There are approximately 6 million undocumented aliens in this country. It is impractical and unwise to suggest that these aliens should be rounded up and banished from this country. In parts of this Nation. such an attempt by the Federal Government would precipitate a civil war. and would subject legal residents of Hispanic or Indochinese appearance to appalling invasions of privacy and to potential deprivations of liberty and property.
