We cannot know that when we have 11 million people living in the shadows. Those people need to be brought out of the shadows. they need to be brought out into the sunlight. they need to be registered. they need to pay a fine. they need to learn English. and they need to do the rest of the things we talk about in this legislation. The very fundamental principle of an immigration law to provide us with national security in America will be altered if we are not able to move forward with the implementation of those provisions of the law. The proposal which my good friend from Georgia has proposed. the Isakson amendment. would essentially gut the sense of our comprehensive immigration reform bill because we would not be able to deal with that reality and we would not be able to deal with the guest worker program that the President of the United States is proposing.
