It is clear to me that if we are unsuccessful in getting this bill through the floor and passed and an opportunity for the process to reconcile the differences between the Senate and the House version. should we get a Senate version. the blame will lie at the feet of the Democratic leader. One of the things Congress promised the American people in 1986 was there would actually be a fraud detection system as part of the amnesty that was then granted to make sure it would actually be successful and that we would not have to find ourselves in the condition we are in today where at the time we had 3 million who benefited from the amnesty and now today the potential number is 12 million. We know the potential for amnesty is a huge magnet for those who come to this country in violation of our immigration laws. I dont want to find the Senate. 5 or 10 or 20 years from now. saying: In 1986. it was 3 million who wanted to benefit from amnesty. In 2006. it was 12 million.
