That is almost 17 hours of delay for every hours worth of traffic. Its just not practical. and we must act to prevent it from happening. As chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration. I intend to hold hearings in both Michigan and Washington to learn more of the impact of section 110. I am certain these proceedings will be useful in determining how to clarify the act and make the case to my colleagues that we must remedy this situation. The illegal immigration law passed last year focused on those persons who enter our Nation illegally. not those who come here legally to make a better life for themselves and their familieslet alone those who visit family here on a regular basis or help carry out our crucial. ongoing trade with Canada. I should also note that Canadians have not historically presented significant illegal immigration problems and that I appreciate very much the unique and close relationship Americans and Canadians share. Section 110 will not go into effect until September 1998. In the meantime. it is my hope that Congress will take the time to closely consider the problems I have outlined and conform the act to reflect current policy and -our special relationship with Canada.
