To the Senator from Nebraska and to the amendment. I do not doubt for a moment but that the intentions of the Senator from Nebraska are wellmeaning. but we ought to make sure. it seems to me. that the specific language of this amendment does not pave the wrong road with those good intentions. that we are clear when we make sweeping legislative changes in an area that is. on the one hand. as volatile and sensitive as this one. and that concerns so many Americans. but an area that is as intricate and complex as this one as well. I do not know and I do not think necessarily this is the proper place to debate immigration policy. This is the crime bill. So I am not prepared to get into a long debate about immigration policy and what we should and should not do there. Certainly. that debate needs to happen. and as a freshman Member of this body. I look very much forward to participating in such a debate.
