Mr. President. I return to the floor to speak about the pending amendment to the border security and immigration bill that was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. on which I am proud to serve. I want to explain to my colleagues and anyone else who may be listening why I oppose this amendment. I believe that. while there are many good things in the bill. or amendment. one of the bad things it contains is that it provides amnesty to those who have violated our immigration laws. As I have said before and I will say again. I cannot accept amnesty as part of any comprehensive solution to our immigration crisis. But more important. it is not a question of whether I can accept this as part of the solution. I dont believe the American people will accept amnesty as part of the solution either.
