That is really one of the greatest legacies this Nation will ever have. But we are also a nation of laws. To me. the toughest part about this legislation has been. how do we reconcile that visionour American values of a nation of immigrantswith this important notion and ideal of a nation that also believes in the rule of law? One of the reasons I so strongly support this amendment is that while we are a welcoming nation and we open our arms to people who want to come to America to achieve a better lifehopefully through legal avenues of immigrationwe know there are some who have not come here through those legal avenues. What we are attempting to achieve in this legislation is to create legal avenues of immigration into this country. Some people may decide they want to come here to become legal permanent residents and citizens and become Americans. Others might figure they want to come to this country on a temporary basis to work and to earn a living so they can support their family. so that they ultimately can return to their country of origin with the savings and skills they have acquired while working in the United States.
