Time will tell if it provides adequate workers or a channel to seek entry into this country. Another provision which alarms me is the cap on funds for reimbursement to the States for costs associated with the vast legalization program. As someone who is still battling for Florida to receive compensation for our immigration debts from the 1980 Mariel and Haitian influxes. I cant help but feel Ill continue to fight this uphill struggle. Immigration is a Federal responsibility. and that certainly includes costs. If this new amnesty program results in millions of new residents for my State. I can attest that this body will revisit this issue. Mr. President. again I express my thanks to those who got us this far with immigration reform. I was one of those who feared. if it died in this Congress. most of us here. would never witness any reform. For all of these reasons.
