I believe it deserves our attention in this body as well. The bill represents an collaborative effort to deal with the escalating problem of alien smuggling and abuse of the asylum system. The United States. a nation founded by immigrants. should welcome legal immigrants and turn away illegal immigrants in a Judicious and cost effective manner. This legislation is the most effective at alleviating the current immigration policy crisis. Mr. President. I commend the Clinton administration for recognizing that major reforms are needed to combat illegal immigration. However. the administrations proposed bill will not achieve the commendable reform goals that President Clinton appears to support. The asylum reform provisions in the legislation that I introduce today would be far more effective in combating asylum fraud.
