We need better enforcement. America cannot absorb every person who wants to live here. We need better border security. and those amendments passed this morning overwhelmingly on a bipartisan basis. We need to work with employers to make sure they are following the law in the people that they hire. We are considering now an amendment. a bipartisan amendment. so agricultural workers can come here to harvest the fruit and vegetables that are an important part of our lives and our economy and not be arrested for doing itgiving them a chance. We are also going to address. before this day is over. whether we will make criminals of all of the people who are here. I certainly hope those who are following this debate understand that if the 11 million undocumented are to come out of the shadows and be part of America. they wont do it with the threat of going to jail or being deported. What we need to do is establish a sensible. tough. but fair process so that those who have come. who work hard. pay taxes. raise their families. obey the law. learn English. and want to be part of America have a chance. They can be given a chance over a longer period of time than those who go through the regular legal process.
