That is what they have to do in order to survive and take care of their families. We have to come up with a way where those people can come across our borders and we will know who they are. why they are here. where they are going. and where they are working. Now. the Senate has passed an immigration bill. which I voted for. and the House has passed an immigration bill. But the conference process does not seem to be going forward very well. Well. the bill here. Ironically. sets out some parameters which might help move this whole thing along. if we want to do a comprehensive immigration bill. I think there is general consensus developing around here to a concept which was put forward by Senator ISAKSON of Georgia during the immigration debate that we should have a trigger mechanism. basically. which would essentially say: When you accomplish these goals in the area of border security. then you can move to the next step in the area of bringing along a guest worker program. What this bill does is basically give us some pretty specific ideas as to what those goals should be. What should be the ascertainable standards which we should set that need to be accomplished and. if and when accomplished. should kick in a guest worker program?
