And enforcement efforts against those shown to be discriminate against Hispanics or other individuals of foreign origin will be vigorously pursued. This will be a matter of the highest priority for the Judiciary Committee and for this individual Senator. There is no question that immigration reform is an experiment that will take the generosity. patience. and understanding of all Americans to make work. I believe that spirit exists. and that our people will accept this challenge with an open mind and an open heart. If it proves to be a source of misunderstanding and prejudice. then changes must and will be made. But now is the time to turn strangers in our midst into friends and neighbors we trust. I will support the immigration reform conference report and I commend the tireless efforts of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming. the chairman of the Immigration Committee. and the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts. the ranking member. There have been. and there remain. disagreements about this legislation. but they have worked together in the best interests of the American people: Neither may be completely satisfied. but perhaps the best result has been obtained. I applaud them both and hope to join with them as we move to solve one of this Nations most troubling and complex problems.
