Speech #1040203849

These are some of the highlights of this important legislation. A number of amendments have been offered to this bill. some of which I will support and others that I will oppose. But I will keep my eye on the overall objective of the bill. which is to support a national policy to reduce illegal immigration and to make it unattractive for illegal aliens to come to the United States. In these days of declining governmental resources. we must provide for our own citizens first and foremost. This legislation. under the worthy stewardship of Senator SIMPSON and augmented by Senator KENNEDY. is a step in the right direction.
