When people who come to this country live outside of the law. they are vulnerable to exploitation and violence. They risk their lives. sometimes just to visit their families. I believe we must take away this black market from smugglers and others who exploit these vulnerable immigrants by addressing deficiencies in our current system. Identifying problems. of course. is not the most difficult part of our jobs. If this were easy. someone would have already done it. It is not easy. but it merits our best efforts. The challenge that Senator KYL and I have assumed is to find a solution. to find workable results. Last Wednesday. we introduced the Comprehensive Enforcement and Immigration Reform Act of 2005. a bill that we believe will restore Americas faith in lawful immigration and will meet the needs of our country. both from a security perspective and from the standpoint of our growing economy which needs the work provided by many immigrants. The bill is based upon certain principles. First. we have to reestablish the rule of law.
