These criminalization measures. which were included in the Housepassed bill supported by congressional Republicans and which were reflected in the majority leaders bill. have understandably sparked nationwide protest. In the view of many. it is antiimmigrant and inconsistent with Americas values and history. The committee bill. while tough in enforcement and on the smugglers. is smarter and fairer. I ask Senators to look at the peaceful demonstrations across this country. Listen to the people who are speaking out. A halfmillion people went out in a peaceful demonstration in Los Angeles.
