As the Senator from Wyoming pointed out. there was significant participation by Republicans and Democrats. It was devoid of partisanship in the consideration of various amendments. Last evening. the Senator from Wyoming offered three important amendments. which we were about to acceptone to make It a deportable offense to falsely claim to be a citizen while applying for jobs or welfare benefits. That is important. That can make a difference in terms of protecting the American taxpayer and the American worker. There is an amendment to keep track of the foreign students. to make sure they stay in school and not work illegally. We do not have the information of what is happening to many of the students. whether or not they circumvent the current laws and melt on into the population and use what is a legitimate cause to come here. to subvert the efforts to try and deal with illegal immigration. The third proposal is where you have students that come here to go to a private university and end up. at the public taxpayers expense. allegedly going to public education at the burden of the taxpayers. These are significant and important amendments.
