Why are we here? I think there are some very important measures that ought to be debated and voted on. We will hear more about those from the Senator from Florida. the Senator from Illinois. myself with regard to the fact. in many instances. under this legislation we are treating illegal immigrants better than legal Immigrants. There will be some other amendments with regard to how we are going to treat expectant mothers of American citizens and how we are going to treat veterans. because you can be a permanent resident alien and serve in the Armed Forces. We have 20.000 of them. but under this bill. they will be shortchanged because of the hammerlike punitive provisions which have been included in the legislation.
