I would also be less than honest with my colleagues if I did not tell you that I still do not like the Schumer agriculture provisions as they were modified and as they were left in this conference report. But I am going to hold my nose and I am going to vote for this conference report. I do not blame anybody else for voting against it. mind you. but I think that the issue of employer sanctions of making it illegal to hire an illegal alien. of regaining control of our borders. of making this country free at some point in the future from the invasion that is occurring across our land borders by those who come here for jobs. is too important for me to turn the other cheek and to vote "no" in this particular case. I do not know when we will get another opportunity if we do not pass this conference report to pass employer sanctions and to get a crack at closing the borders. So I am voting for the conference report.
