That is what George Will said. Mr. President. offering up border enforcement as a panacea is a great political talking point. You can go out. and there are places where people will stomp their feet and clap their hands and say: Isnt that true? But it is not a real strategy. it is not a way to fix our broken immigration system. I am also troubled by the antiimmigrant statements made during this debate. which expose a limited understanding of the role of immigrants and immigrant workers and the role that they play in the fabric of our economy and our society and our communities. Most troubling is. I think. that these statements are statements that are made to try to divide people. For example. arguing against the need for immigrant labor. Congressman DANA ROHRABACHER said: Let the prisoners pick the fruits. We can do it without bringing in millions of foreigners.
