I voted for the Gonzalez amendment which would fine certain employers $50.000 so that those dollars could be used to reinvest in our community hospitals and schools to pay for some of the services that are used by those that may not be in status. But. frankly. we cannot have that verification system without an even database. And so it is important to note that. if we do border enforcement or immigration reform. we must have the dollars and the commitment. and that is not here in the present administration and the present structure that we are in. This legislation is. I think. falling on its own weight.
