Now what does the Hamilton substitute propose. or the Hamilton amendment propose? Like many of my colleagues today. there really is not any tangible alternative. All he is doing is given $27 million in relief if the freedom fighters will declare themselves refugees and I guess head north. I wonder if this amendment also provides money for preparing road signs saying. "This way to America." We already have a terrible problem at the MexicanAmerican border. with as many as 10.000 illegal aliens crossing the border a day. and with this type of an amendment. Im sure that would turn into a virtual tidal wave. We have a severe problem down there in stabilizing Central America. and this amendment does not do it.
