Mr. President. indeed. immigration reform. budgeting of it. is not an insignificant matter. It is a grueling. ghastly issue. filled with emotion. fear. guilt and racism. It makes it tough to pass something that has those things attached to it. But the provision here is waiverI shall have a statement later on the bill. I do respect greatly the Senator from Texas. for what he tries to do for us in fiscal responsibility matters is extraordinary. The cost to Americans. both financially and socially. will far outweigh the $4 billion in 4 years. when we have 1.8 million people coming across our borders each and every year. undocumented. who then seek our services. But provision is made in the Budget Act for waiver. So I move. in accordance with section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act. to waive section 303 of that act for consideration of the conference report.
