We. in essence. had made a deal with them. and I dont believe we should go back on that deal today. Mr. President. the Mack amendment would keep faith with these individuals. It is not. as my colleagues from Florida have already pointed out. an automatic grant of amnesty. nor is it an automatic grant of permanent residency. Far from it. It is merely a restoration of the original conditions these immigrants have to fulfill if we are going to allow them to remain in this country. I had the opportunity this morning to participate in a press conference concerning this issue. I also had the opportunity a few months ago to travel to Nicaragua.
