President. I hope that we can clear up the signal that we are sending. We welcome legal immigrants into our country. they have made a huge contribution to our country. But we do not welcome illegal immigrants into our country. and we must stop it. That is what this bill will do. I want to commend Senator SIMPSON for the work he has done through the years on this issue and Senator KENNEDY. working with him. and Senator KYL. one of our new Members who is from a border State who uniquely understands. as I do. what this costs the taxpayers of a border State. They are providing great leadership on this issue. We have a chance to do something that puts teeth into the laws of this country. I do not want us to get sidetracked on issues that are not relevant to the issue of illegal immigration. It Is too important to the economy of our country and the taxpayers of our country and to the lawabiding citizens of our country. I thank you.
