Unfortunately. that increase in the minimum wage is not going to be part of this bill. I think that is probably a mistake. but it is what it is. In closing. at least with respect to immigration tonight. I again want to say it is not good when 10.000 people are coming across our borders last week. this week. next week. Amnesty is not the answer. I believe the answer is legislation that is tough. that is smart. that is comprehensive. that begins with a heavy focus on making our borders more secure. enforcing the laws that are supposed to be in effect with respect to employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. trying to make sure the identification folks bring to this country to demonstrate to employersthat we better ensure it is tamperproof and we use technology to do that sort of thing. There are a couple of outcomes that could come out of our work here. We are going to take up this bill tomorrow with some final amendments. and we will vote on whether to pass it and to go to conference with the House. which has a somewhat different bill. as we know.
