We believe. if we establish an orderly process and procedure for people to come here with the tamperproof card. and if we have effective implementation and enforcement against employers. that is the best way to assure that we are going to have fairness. both in treatment for these workers and also for American workers. I stand with those who feel that this is not the right amendment. This isnt the right time. This whole construct of the immigration legislation isnt a 2year. isnt a 3year. isnt a 4year. isnt a 5yearwe are trying to establish something that will serve this country and also serve the countries of Mexico and Central America in the future. That is the construct. To try to say we are going to terminate an aspect of this after a few years really is a deathblow to the construct of this legislation.
