It does not end with the rhetoric. There has been a concerted effort over the past few years. through piecemeal proposals. to make our civil servants do things they do not even have the proper training to do. These efforts have included anything from trying to make our caregivers and doctors into police officers and our school teachers into INS and border security agents. Changes to our immigration system cannot be done in a patchwork approach. They need to be undertaken in a comprehensive manner that can provide us with a safe and orderly immigration system that preserves family values. rewards hard work and sacrifice. and is in the national interest and benefits all Americans. Now. let me be clear. I am first and foremost for hiring any American who is willing to do any job that is available in this country. any American who wants to do the backbreaking work that is so needed in our agricultural sector. to clean the bathrooms in our hotels on their hands and knees. and to do the work in our meatpacking plants across our Nation. These are done largely by immigrants. They should be available to any American who wants to do it first. But many of us know all too well this is not the case.
