Chairman. I strongly support the McCollum amendment. I believe we must strike from the bill legalization for the millions of illegal aliens presently within this country. While I fully appreciate the difficulties involved in deporting illegals. amnesty is not the answer and I cannot support language in the bill which. in effect. rewards those who have managed to evade the law for 2 years. The bill is unfair both to immigrants and to taxpayers. Many immigrant applicants have been waiting years for citizenship. They have complied with the law and yet. under this bill. we would punish those who have followed the requirements and given resident status to those who did not. Furthermore.
