President. if I could just ask the Senator from Massachusetts. I was not referring to the amendment which is pending on the floor of the Senate. I was referring to the CornynKyl bill. which is a comprehensive immigration reform bill that deals with enforcement at the border. enforcement at the worksite. a temporary worker program. a way to deal with the illegal immigrants different in ways from the bill that passed the Judiciary Committee but nonetheless is a comprehensive reform bill which was voted down. But it does represent an alternative on which we would like to have a vote on the Senate floor. I wanted to give the Senator an opportunity to acknowledge that in the Senate there are alternatives to criminalizing the illegal immigrantsif he wanted to?
