I know that over the course of my career in Congress. my staff and I have helped hundreds. perhaps thousands of these aspiring Americans become citizens. I am sure that many of the supporters of this bill have done the same. If we allow illegal immigration to continue on its present course. not only does it hurt our commitment to the rule of law. our economy. and our national security. but it also hurts these legal immigrants. Why should they obey the law and wait their turn? What do they think when they go through the whole process. but then see our government and our employers look the other way with millions of illegal aliens? This bill will not only uphold the rule of law. protect American tax dollars and enhance our national security. it will also restore a sense of dignity and pride to those immigrants who come here legally. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
