I think my colleagues can now better understand why it took 6 years to pass the bill. I have never seen the extraordinary array or panoply of resistance by people who had the most narrow of interest and tried still to say that it was being done for the Nations good. Satisfied or not. they are back. and they are a very vocal. specialinterest array of groups who just cannot accept the fact that Congress passed an Illegal Immigration Reform and Control Act last year. and passed judgment on it just last year in October. While I know that my colleagues who sponsor these amendments have very different and clear motivations. I caution everyone to view with care the endorsement of this long laundry list of groups.
