Mr. Chairman. I intend to cast my vote in favor of H.R. 1510 because I believe we must have immigration reform and. clearly. this is the only vehicle we have. The present situation is intolerable and we must improve it. H.R. 1510 makes a number of needed improvements and we cannot miss this opportunity for reform. I support the employer sanctions because I believe we must provide penalties for employers who willfully and repeatedly hire illegal aliens with the clear knowledge that they are violating the law. I do not support the amnesty provisions and voted for the amendment by the gentleman from Florida to delete that language. We lost and I respect the judgment of the House.
