They know the principles that unite us as Americansnot our race. not our ancestry. but principles. Among those principles are equal opportunity and laissezfaire. We thrive on immigration in this country. But among those principles. too. is our unity. And first among those principlesat least none is more importantis the principle of the rule of law. Those halfmillion new citizens know that they are free to drive here across the country but not to run stop lights: that they are free to make contracts in this economy but not to break them. that they are free to own a gun under the second amendment but not to shoot someone. We thrive on legal immigration. but we cannot tolerate illegal immigration. I would like to ask through the Chair. if I may. a question of the Senator from Georgia.
