We will have a participatory process. That apparently consists of us seeing the bill last night and then trying to run it through conference tomorrow. That is their participatory process. Now. I understand why they did it that way. There are in this bill several provisions which do not deal with illegal immigration. they deal with discrimination. They make it easier for people to discriminate against American citizens of Hispanic or Asian origin in particular. In 1986. back in the bipartisan days. now long over with us. we adopted legislation that said. if you hire people who are here illegally. you will be punished.
