It appears to me that what we are going to do. we are going to grant a permanent status to people who came here. not for any political reasons. but for economic reasons. depriving American workers of Jobs. The question becomes: Just what are we doing? If we have an immigration bill and we have somebody who wants to legally immigrate to this country. we make them go through hell to come to this country. We have to be assured that the job that they want to take in this country is a job that no American is qualified to do. We have put them through a torture test. and yet in this bill what we are saying is virtually everybody who came across the border for purposes of finding work is now going to be granted a brand new status in this country.
