Speech #1090136005

I thank my colleague from California for offering this amendment. Quite frankly. the amendment offered by Senator FEINSTEIN is the only way I see that we can get out of the mess we are in. so to speak. with all of the undocumented people here. in a way that is profamily. proworker. proAmerican. pronational security. The amendment offered by the Senator from California meets all of those requirements. It will cost a heck of a lot less. just in terms of dollars. While I respect the efforts by Senators HAGEL and MARTINEZ and others to craft some sort of compromise. the fact is the HagelMartinez bill will be difficult. costly to implement. will tend to separate families and will not be in the best interests of our country.
