Mr. Chairman. there are two reasons why this amendment should be rejected: First. it will kill immigration reform. and second. it is wrong and it is unfair. It is a killer amendment. Mr. Chairman. What are we going to do if this amendment passes. send in INS to round everybody up. a massive deportation? I thought under this bill they were supposed to do something else at the border. Legalization is just. humane and necessary. in the traditions of this country. It will eliminate the underclass that exists right now. It will allow 5. 7. 9. 3 million people to come out of bondage. people who are not criminals. as some of my colleagues have said. but have been contributing to this society. have been taking jobs that we do not want.
