This study does not merit what is being generated on this floor and it is divisive. Do not fool yourselves. it is divisive. As Democrats and Republicans we cannot afford. over issues which have little or nothing to do with real immigration reform to get down in such a bitter debate. and I urge you to adopt this amendment. get on with the really substantial issues of what will be immigration reform when this bill passes. not what we might not do 3 years down the road. which is only a study and which our own committee and I am sure the chairman would agree. our own committee could study if we so desired. I urge you for that reason alone. rejecting the arguments made by the proponents. just stop this debate on this particular issue and adopt the amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.
