Speech #1090120409

If that is the intentto strip from this bill a path to legalizationthen I think it is a much different bill than the one which we approved 12 to 6 out of our committee. a bill which the chairman supported and which I supported on a bipartisan basis. and which Senator KYL of Arizona opposed. Let me be specific. The KylCornyn amendment which they are seeking to bring to the floor eliminates the path to legalization for potentially millions of undocumented immigrants who have committed no crime. It eliminates it from this bill. It creates a condition for qualification to be eligible for that path that would be. frankly. impossible for many to meet.
