The Judiciary Committee sent this resounding message. as I said. with a bill with a bipartisan vote of 12 to 6. with strong bipartisan support of every key amendment. These were not partyline amendments. These were bipartisan amendments. It is a bill that is strong on enforcement and in some ways stronger than the bill passed by the other body. It includes a provision added by Senator FEINSTEIN. for example. to make tunneling under our borders a Federal crime. It is tough on employer enforcement. And it is tough on traffickers. It is also comprehensive and balanced. It confronts the problem of 12 million undocumented immigrants who live in the shadows. It values work. It respects human dignity.
