Chairman. I guess I come to speak before this very. very able body today to say that we are really not solving the problem. The fact is that this bill represents a retreat from true immigration reform and from true security. Evaluate the bill. and you will see that it neither demonstrates the political will nor commits the requisite resources to deport 11 million people who currently live and work in the United States of America. So after the bill is passed. there will still be 11 million. and I do not see anything in the bill that is going to cure that problem. 11 million people who we should. as President Bush has urged. as all likeminded people have urged. should be given the opportunity to come out of the shadows of darkness. should come out of the marginalized existence of exploitation in which they live and be able to join all of us doing three things: demonstrating their good moral character. demonstrating that they pay taxes. demonstrating that they work and they contribute to this great country of ours.
