The President of the United States has made statements to that effect. Something has to be done. Illegal immigration has also been tied in with the enormous flow of illegal drugs into this country and to international terrorist violence being imported here from abroad. Something must be done. but this bill is not the answer. The idea that a legalization or amnesty can be given to potentially millions of illegal immigrants. who arrived illegally in this country before January of 2004. is to undermine the very principles of legality upon which our entire immigration system is founded. In the words of my former colleague. Senator Richard Schweiker. the socalled legalization or amnesty puts the Government squarely behind the lawbreaker. and in effect. says Congratulations. you have successfully violated our laws and avoided detectionhere is your reward." In clear language. granting amnesty rewards the lawbreaker. pure and simple.
