There is a consistent disregard for human rights throughout the legislation before us. The threat to the rights of individuals and groups is substantial and unavoidable. We need legislation that stops undocumented immigrants from coming into our country. But we also need legislation that preserves the values of justice and fairness for American citizens of all races. for refugees fleeing oppression. and for the shadowy population of undocumented immigrants which has silently contributed to our Nation for many years. The present bill does not preserve these values. I therefore urge my colleagues to join me in rejecting H.R. 1510 and in pressing for full consideration of humane alternatives to this dangerous and misguided bill.*
