Speech #1090132358

I think it is a mistake in many aspects. I think it ignores history and ignores very specific. concrete experience. Not too long ago. in 1986. Congress passed similar measures. albeit on a much smaller scale. which ultimately and clearly failed to solve the immigration problem. I am very fearful that we are repeating history. only on a much broader. much bigger. much more dangerous scale. My amendment goes to the heart of those concerns. goes to the heart of the matter. goes to the absolute heart of what so many Americans find most objectionable about the bill on the floor.
