Chairman. I rise in support of the amendments that will be offered. first. the one that is presently before us offered by the gentleman from California . and. second. to alert my colleagues that I indeed will support the amendment that will be offered by the gentleman from Florida . Now. my support for both of these amendments lies not so much out of concern for the social impact of immigration upon our Nation. for I am concerned about that. and indeed immigrants have been a tremendous source of enrichment for our country. but my support for these amendments lies chiefly or revolves chiefly around my concerns for the economic impact of any kind of legalization program that is being offered either by the committee and/or by the various sets of amendments that may survive. The committee bill. plus McCollum. would take advantage of a mechanism that is already in place. It was addressed quite articulately by the gentleman from Florida and in the argument by the gentleman from Ohio when they spoke of the registry date.
