I think that we would be doing not only a disservice to ourselves. but we would be acting inconsistently with what we are attempting to do and that is to recognize a fact of life. that these people are here and we ought to come as close as we can to the current date. allowing for the greatest number to be given this opportunity to become legal. Mr. Chairman. I have worked on this legislation for a great period of time. Without legalization. there can be no immigration reform bill. but beyond that. there is a case of being realistic and recognizing these facts.
