Its not perfect. God knows there are things in here that I wish werent. But an omnibus immigration bill cant be all things for all people. What we ultimately have to ask ourselves is whether this bill. on balance. serves the national interest. Any. in my view. the answer to that question is a resounding "yes." Illegal immigration into this country is a national crisis. and if we dont act now to regain control of our borders we may forever lose the chance. Reject this conference report. whatever its imperfections. and theres no looking back. We will have lost a historic opportunity. Farreaching and critically needed immigration reform will be by the boards. I urge my colleagues to vote "yes." Put the national interest above local interests. put our future above our past. put political leadership above political posturing. Vote up this report.
