Speech #1090119569

An editorial in yesterdays New York Times entitled "It Isnt Amnesty" makes the point that painting the word "deer" on a cow and taking it into the woods does not make the cow a deer. As I said yesterday. in Vermont. especially during deer season. we Vermonters know the difference between a deer and a cow. Sometimes we wish the tourists did. Our committee bill should not be falsely labeled. Our bill is more properly called what it is: a smart. tough bill. We know we need a comprehensive solution to a national problem. We need a fair. realistic. and reasonable system that includes both tough enforcement and immigration reform provisions. All Senators. Republicans and Democrats. should be able to agree with these principles.
