I am all for employing people on our conditionsnot theirs--of regularizing. legalizing. making people pay a debt. pay fines. pay back taxes and future taxes. pay your way the best you can. But I am very confident that the net benefit to our country and our society by assimilating a needed workforce in a humane fashion is a budget winner and a winner for our society as a whole. I gladly will vote against this budget point of order because while you look at the dynamics of the economic condition of our country and the value the immigrant workforce has now and in the future. it is a plus for our country. And doing nothing is the consequence of this bill falling or failing. What will be the cost for the next generation of politicians to do something we cant do among ourselves now?
