I will suspend my remarks so he may be recognized and hope that after he is recognized. I can continue with my remarks. This week. the Senate begins an overdue reform of our immigration laws. The Chair has been in the middle of that and is making contributions to it. Because nearly 10.000 illegal aliens cross the United States border every day. more than 3 million a year. we should startstart--with border security. But then. once we secure the border and can uphold our limits on immigration. we should get quickly back to the American tradition of creating a legal status for those whom we welcome to temporarily work and study in the United States and who. by doing so. enrich our diversity and spur our economy. But my purpose today is to make sure we dont stop there. that we dont overlook. as Paul Harvey might say. "the rest of the story." the rest of the immigration story. that is. helping prospective citizens who are legally here become Americans. Joined by Senators CORNYN. ISAKSON.
