That is a newspaper which is known for its conservative stance. and it talks to those people right on the most heavily traveled border in the world. This is what they said: Employer sanctions and amnesty are the two key provisions of the SimpsonMazzoli bill. Without them. you do not have immigration reform. you have a travesty. Amnesty without sanctions would flash a green light to exploiters to keep hiring and illegal aliens to keep coming. Sanctions without amnesty would flash a red light of vindictiveness. leaving millions of people in a netherland of illegality. I do not suggest that the gentleman from Florida intends that. I have worked very closely with him on all sorts of issues in the area of refugees and immigration. But I do believe we will make a major mistake if we eliminate legalization from this bill.
