I want every one to realize what this is. It is a second amnesty. We have debated the issue of legalization of illegal aliens. Congress decided that those aliens who had lived here continuously since January 1. 1982. or before should be allowed to receive a legal status. The Senate Judiciary Committee reported on this bill and stated very clearly how nonqualifying family members of illegal aliens should be treated. This was agreed to by the U.S. Senate and I might add that there was never a shred of partisanship in the immigration reform legislation. I must share with my colleaguesnot a shred. That was just an extraordinary series of allies and detractors from all over the political spectrum.
