It is an amendment that very simply says no provision of any act we pass which contains a guest worker program will go into effect until. first. the Secretary of Homeland Security has certified to the President and to this Congress that our borders are reasonably secure. I want to tell you why that is important. It is important because 20 years ago. in 1986. a great President. Ronald Reagan. and this Congress adopted a program that gave legal status to 3 million illegal aliens in the United States. We did so in the hopes of clearing up the problem. Instead. what we created was an attractive reason for more to come illegally in hopes of gaining the same status.
