I hope our Members will consider what he has to say. It is thoughtful. honest. and direct. as always. I do remain troubled that the Senate is moving steadily. like a train down the tracks. to pass an immigration bill that is deeply flawed. It dramatically increases legal immigration and has no guarantee that significantly improved enforcement procedures will ever be carried out. In fact. the Senate rejected the Isakson amendment which would have conditioned amnesty on effective enforcement. Clearly. we have not comprehended the ramifications of rewarding those who have broken our laws with all the benefits we give to those who lawfully enter. thereby undermining. as Senator GRASSLEY said. the rule of law in this country. Further. this legislation. which claims to be comprehensive. provides a radical increase in future legal immigration almost with no discussion or consideration of what is good policy for our future. In addition. the legislation has been crafted in a way that hides and conceals. even misrepresents. its real effects. Thus.
