We cannot allow the criminal element here. people who have committed crimes. who are criminals. to continue to prey on these people. It is one of the reasons our amendment says that criminals cannot participate in this program. There is another reason. Citizenship in this country is a tremendous privilege. Anyone who knows immigrants who have come here or who has participated in a swearingin ceremony knows how much legal immigrants value this privilege. As I said before. my grandparents came here and they were so proud of their American citizenship. They felt so privileged to have been able to come here.
