Mr. Speaker. after a half dozen years of steady. intense work. the Congress seems to be at last poised on the brink of passage of an immigration bill. To say it is overdue is an understatement. To say it is imperfect is also an understatement. I have voted for a number of versions of immigration reform. All of them have been flawed. Most of them have been seriously flawed. This bill is seriously flawed. too. It still rewards successful law breaking by giving the prize of citizenship. Amnesty is a provision that insult all the lawabiding people around the world waiting patiently. and legally. for their numbers to come up.
