Mr. President. the Senate Judiciary Committee has voted out a historic and monumental immigration bill. The work was intense and fast. and we spent less than. perhaps. half a day dealing with the entire area of the bill that is referred to as guest workers or what to do with those who are here today illegallyperhaps 11 million to 20 million individuals. I have reached a conclusion. having been in law enforcement for the most part of my professional career. that the enforcement provisions are not going to be adequatealthough there are some good ones there. some steps forwardand our approach to those who are here and those who wish to come here in the future has been poorly thought out and unprincipled. I strongly believe that America has a tremendous opportunity to fix a broken immigration system. The system as it operates today makes a mockery of law. and we all know that. It rewards bad behavior.
