We have been forced to reexamine the laws of our country as they relate to our borders. Yet nearly 5 years after our country was attacked by people who came in through a porous border. we still have a porous border. We need immigration reform. and we must do it right. There are some good points in this bill. Securing our borders is a part of this bill. I voted against the Budget Act point of order yesterday because I want to spend the money on border security. and it is going to cost money. But that is not the only part of this bill. The rest of the bill has caused an imbalance that cannot stand if we are to look at the big picture for our country. Edwin Meese. the former Attorney General of the United States. warned in a New York Times editorial oped that we are in danger of repeating the mistakes of 20 years ago when Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. granting amnesty to those who were in this country. We are in danger of making the same mistake today. Temporary workers are very important for our country.
