I know many Members were involved and participated. and I think they did a very good job. We began the debate last week. We started with border control. just as we laid out. We extended that to interior control enforcement and workplace enforcement and then comprehensive immigration reform including the temporary worker program. The American people expect it. To allow 2.000 or 3.000 illegal people to come across the border in the middle of the night. not knowing who they are or where they are going. is wrong. We can fix that. as well as comprehensive reform. I am optimistic that after todays vote. after we do that. if we stay focused. if we come together. if everyone takes a very careful look at the HagelMartinez proposal. we will finish with a bill which will make America safer. protect the rule of law. and recognize our interest in legal immigration. As I have said all along. I believe we cannot support amnesty.
