I know that every one on the floor opposes those provisions. but we are taking them because of a conviction that that is part of the price you have to pay to get a bill. I guess the reason I thought it was so important that this be thoroughly debated was because in the House. when the debate occurred on the McCollum amendment. that would have stricken the amnesty provision totally. the vote was 192 to 199. I oppose the bill. Mr. President. not because I do not believe that we have an immigration time bomb. I believe we do. And I oppose it not because I doubt that we face a crisis.
