Reclaiming my time just for a moment. the gentleman from Kentucky and this gentleman have had a lot of discussions over this and I respect him immensely. We just simply differ on our conclusions as to what is necessary for a balanced and fair immigration reform bill. I do not think personally. as I have said earlier. that we have to have legalization in this bill. I did not come to that conclusion. as the gentleman from Kentucky did. during the same 4 years we served together on this. Ithink that those who listen to this debate. I hope this morning many have. will understand where this gentleman is coming from. the rationale that I think motivates most of the American people to believe that while we do need to strengthen our borders and we do need to be fair to everybody. that the unfairest and most imbalanced proposition of all. strangely as it may sound to those who have argued the other way and I know sincerely argued that way. comes not from striking legalization from the bill. but from keeping it.
