Mr. Chairman. I move to strike the requisite number of words. Mr. Chairman. peers. for heavens sake defeat this amendment and with it defeat the myth of the plotting. scheming immigrant. because he comes from the same whole cloth from which comes the plotting. scheming criminal. Almost everybody in this Chamber has at one time or another in his or her legislative life been confronted with the question of sanctions for criminal punishment. In New Mexico they give 10 years for first degree burglary and we only give 5 years here in Arizona. Conclusion: The thinking criminal of New Mexico commits burglaries in Arizona because he will only receive a 5year sentence. if found.
