Speech #1090120372

This is a procedure that has been followed for many years. I would further say I simply dont accept the explanation of the amendment the distinguished junior Senator from Arizona has offered on this bill. First. the Kyl amendment. as amended by Senator CORNYN. would make classesvarious individuals who would become part of a class of undocumented immigrantsineligible for conditional nonimmigrant status and to earn their legalization. for example. immigrants who came through the visa program who overstayed their visas. Is that what we want to do? I dont want to do it: Make immigrants subject to expedited removal at the point of arrival. And did you know one of the definitions of aggravated felon that is in this legislation is somebody who has twice overstayed their visa? So I like the bill we have before the Senate. I dont accept this amendmentthe Kyl amendmentas one that improves the bill.
