But if we win that vote. we then have been assured by the leadership that there will be a binding vote in this body on the issue of 245(I). So between now and Wednesday this issue of 245(I) will be discussed. Just a preview of how much I disagree with my good friend. the gentleman from Massachusetts on this issue. is that we passed an illegal immigration reform bill last year with the intent of restoring respect for Americas immigration law. By taking half a million to a million people who are in this country illegally. and permitting them to stay in this country for $1.000. we are breaking down the respect for our immigration law that we attempted to build last year in our immigration reform bill. It Is totally contrary to that process. What we are talking about is an amnesty. a new amnesty for 500.000 to 1 million illegal immigrants. I strongly oppose that. It is in the Senates bill already. in their Commerce.
