What we learn from history. from the studies on the border and listening to those hearings. is that just trying to build up the border and add the fence down there is not going to solve the problem. If you read from history. as has been pointed out by Republicans and Democrats. if you just grant amnesty. it doesnt solve the problem. We have crafted a balanced program which will have strong national security. strong border protection. and also have strong enforcement in terms of employers and recognize that those individuals who are here working hard. playing by the rules. and paying the fines. we will have the ability to adjust their status. You have to have the three legs of the stool. History teaches us that. The Isakson amendment will take two of those important legs away. It doesnt make sense if we are interested in national security. and it doesnt make sense if we want to have real immigration reform. The President understands it. I hope the Senate will.
