Twenty years later. we have the same language. You can change the names and it is the same languagegoing to get tough. going to fix this issue. The fact is. if we dont decide. first. to secure our borders and. second. to have real sanctions against those who want to hire illegal immigrants for substandard wages. this will not work. All we are doing is playing lets pretend. We play that often around here. It is not going to work. What we ought to do is stare truth in the eye on this issue and decide that we are going to do what is necessary to evaluate what the immigration issue is. how to fix it and go about the business of doing it. Instead. there is all this energy to see not only how we deal with the immigration issue but how we add a new guest worker program to bring people into this country who otherwise would be illegal and how do we bring new people into this country to take the jobs that American workers need. That doesnt make much sense to me. and it is not a proposition that I can support. I yield the floor.
