That applies equally to those who believe we must start with enforcement as it does to people illegally in this country. No one in this Senate. I believe. is antiimmigration. Everyone is a product of a strong and proud history of immigration in this country. But until recently it was a strong and proud history of legal immigration. I truly believe what most threatens that strong and proud history and the support in this country for that foundation of our society is the fact that illegal immigration has subsumed that tradition. If we want to continue to cherish that tradition. if we want to continue to have respect for all members of our society. no matter how they look or appear. we must get back to that important tradition of legal immigration. We must get back to the rule of law so we can defend that strong tradition and get hold of this very serious challenge our country faces. I yield back the remainder of my time.
