But those who do finish will make a better America. We have to go beyond enforcement. We have a reasonable and realistic approach to address the undocumented who live among us. We would give them an opportunity. and that is the best America can offer to anybody. By giving them this opportunity. we encourage them to come forward and register and to be part of the legal rolls in America. That way. we know who is living here. which enhances our national security. This is also true to American values. It is rewarding immigrants who work hard and play by the rules. We face extraordinary security challenges in America today. We have a war that now has claimed over 2.300 of our best and bravestsons and daughters of families across America. from Illinois and every State in the union.
