Let me finish first. and then I will be happy to yield. as I always have. to my good friend. the gentleman from Kentucky. Mr. Chairman. while we are talking about spending this kind of money for legalization. I fail to see why spending more to enforce our present laws. coupled with Lungren. the better of the choices. and/or with McCollum. would not be an even better solution. rather than simply ignoring the backlog of applicants who have waited now for years legally to immigrate to this country. Citizenship is the most valuable thing that the United States can offer to anyone. U.S. citizenship carries with it the promise of opportunity. the hope for a future. and the freedom to pursue them.
