I wonder if the Senator will yield for a question. Is it the Senators understanding that if we accept the Isakson amendment. we will continue to have this culture of illegality in the United States? If we accept the Isakson amendment. we will still have the hiring by employers of illegal aliens. we will be driving wages down. we will still have a whole culture of illegality. we will have people in the shadows. we will have people whose names we dont know because we are unable to bring people out into the sunlight and understand who is actually here in terms of our national security? Does the Senator from Colorado not believe that this is reallythe Senator from Colorado. as I understand it. has been a strong supporter of border security. provisions that are in the underlying bill. He has been a strong supporter to make sure that this is a key element in our total immigration strategy: a strong border and that we deal with the dangers of our border. but to understand that if we are going to be able to deal with the dangers of our border. we are going to also have to deal with enforcement in this country of employers. We are also going to have to deal with the adjustment of the status of those who are here. Is that the position of the Senator from Colorado? Mr. President. I want to understand clearly. he is not taking a second step to anyone. is he. in having a strong border enforcement am I right?
