Without them. I fear that we would do more harm than good. I support the effort to reform our immigration laws. But let us be sure that we do so in a manner that does justice to our Constitution. our American values. and our tradition as a nation of immigrants. History has shown that. once an immigration law is enacted. Congress does not act again for many years. It is therefore imperative. when we are considering the subject of reform of our immigration laws. that we be sure to pass the very best bill we can. in order to correct the injustices that have been done in the past. and to ensure that they are not perpetuated into the future. I am very hopeful that many of the problems with this bill can be resolved in conference. and that a bill will then emerge which I can support wholeheartedly. But for now.
