I think we crossed that bridge when we got into the whole business of the amnesty. A decision was made. A decision was made to treat certain illegal aliens differently. And we made it. Now there is a good deal of objection. I am sure no one knows better than the man who really succeeded in putting this bill together. and having it pass. the junior Senator from Wyoming. He was constantly confronted. Why are you treating these people differently? And we treated them differently because these folks had established themselves in the country. were working. had their families here in many instances. and we said we are starting fresh.
