I would never let such a system take foothold in the United States. My colleagues. I stand before you in fullfillment of that pledge. Yet. despite these reservations. I support this legislation. The need for reform of our immigration law is overwhelming. This legislation provides for permanent increases in familybased immigration. and it has other provisions to protect the integrity of the family. such as temporary visas for family members of newly legalized members. All these provisions motivate me to support this bill. I just cannot support the manner in which the conference report comes before us. protecting as the rule does. a provision for repugnant identification cards.
