It was a great day for the Senate when Russ FEINGOLD was elected to serve here. When he says this amendment increases penalties for those who come in legally and overstay. this amendment does nothing of the sort. This amendment does one thing and one thing only. and that is to weaken enforcement of illegal immigration. What the bill does--not this amendmenton those who overstay legally. anyone who overstays more than 60 days cannot apply for coming back in again legally for 3 or 5 years. We hire more investigators. You have to apply for a visa to the original consular office where you made the original application. Three things I do not think anyone can question. No. 1 Is the thing that Senator SIMPSON has stressed over and over again. and that is the attraction for illegal immigration is the magnet of a job. I do not think anyone seriously questions that. No. 2 is that we have massive fraud that assists people who are here illegally.
