At the same time. though. time is of the essence. There is a sense of urgency. I think a growing sense of urgency. among a number of Members. as expressed by both the Senators from Florida. as well as in my case and probably other Members as well. because the impact of the 1996 immigration legislation is slowly but surely coming into effect. The people who may or may not be affected by that legislation. depending on the various decisions to be made by the Department of Justice and the courts. are living on a daytoday basis under the threat of the prospect of deportation. It seems it is in everyones interest. but it is also in the interest of fairness for these individuals. for us to try to take legislative action to resolve and address these matters once and for all. Both Senators have already talked at some length about the chronology of circumstances that brings us here today.
