Why does Congress give the agency more time to get this system running? It does not make sense for us to ask for another timeline. it seems sensible just to get it done. In the final analysis. I am probably only 1 of 15 Senators still in this Senate since the 1986 immigration law was passed. but I was led to believe in 1986 that by voting for amnesty with employer sanctions. we would solve our illegal immigration problem. It just encouraged further illegal immigration. I quantify that by saying it was a 1 millionperson program in 1986. Today. it Is a 12 millionperson problem.
