Mr. Speaker. I rise today in opposition to an immigration bill that has something for everyone and nothing for anyone. It has been dressed up to bridge all sorts of interest gaps and to satisfy the powers that be. but in one task it utterly fails: giving the American people a better. more effective and more humane immigration law. This bill proposes to give amnesty to undocumented aliens who have resided in this country since 1982. Who are we kidding about amnesty? Aside from the requirements set out in this bill. the INS still practices over 20 principles of exclusion whereby they can decide to deport any alien instead of legalize him.
