If we act with resolve. we can solve the problem. and we can do so with compassion and humanity. Among other things. we can give legal status to many aliens who are here now. who have been productive and lawabiding. But what happens if we fail? After so much nonpartisan effort for so long by so many individuals of all political viewpoints. partisan political considerations should not now be allowed to block the national desire for immigration reform. I sincerely hope that the Speaker will reconsider. We in the administration continue to be ready and willing to work with this Congress to complete this most important task.
