I say it would be wrong for this body to pursue this type of amendment offered by the Senator from Wyoming. I also make another note. The Senator from Wyoming in his comments. as a threshold matter. suggested because visa overstayers constitute a large part of the Illegal immigrant population in this country and because they at one time came to this country legally. we should somehow bring in the entire legal Immigration proposal. misses the point. With this legislation. once these folks have overstayed their visas. they are no longer legal immigrants. They are illegal immigrants. We have dealt with that effectively in the bill. So.
