Mr. President. the Senate is scheduled to vote today on a comprehensive immigration reform bill. With thousands of illegal immigrants rushing across our borders every day. straining every sector of our society. congressional attention to this issue is appropriate and overdue. Unfortunately. S. 2611 is not the right way to reform our immigration system. As the son of an Italian immigrant who came to the United States in 1930. I understand the important and valuable contributions immigrants have made and continue to make to our country. I have great respect for those who have legally come to our Nation seeking a better life for their families. just as my grandfather and father did. However. as the Senate comes to a vote on S. 2611.
