There are people who are playing by the rules waiting to enter this country legally. They do not get an option to buy their way into a fast track. Common sense says we do not reward people for breaking the law. and do not give them vehicles for people breaking the law that are not available to those who play by the rules. I want every Member here who voted for the immigration reform bill last year to remember this provision is a veto of the most commonsense part of that bill that says we will stop rewarding people for breaking our laws and coming here illegally.
