I rise in support of the position of Senator DECONCINI. I supported the Senator from Arizona in committee and I support his efforts again today. His provision would extend the public education campaign of the new immigration law for another 4 months. Last year. Congress passed a delicately balanced immigration bill that combined a legalization program with an employer sanctions program. Because of the complicated nature of the bill. Congress delayed immediate enforcement of both programs for over 6 months. It made the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS] responsible for carrying out a publicity campaign that informed the public about both programs. One might ask. why would a liberal Democrat who voted for this bill when she was a Member of the House of Representatives ask for delays? I ask for that delay and support that delay exactly because of the reason I voted for it in the first place: I want it to work.
