What this simply does is offer a position where the Members can push back the legalization date. The legalization date simply is trying to focus on the question of equity that people who have been here have gained by their presence in the United States. There are many who feel very strongly that by not having effectively adopted an immigration program that our country is guilty of some type of laches or some type of a status where we should recognize the equity that these people have built up. even though they have been here over the years illegally. This is a commonsense approach. I would hope that each of the Members would examine the points very carefully and vote in favor of the Shaw amendment.
