But I think that is an appropriate title because this is actually a bill that was pushed through the Senate by the Democrats. And let me tell you just a couple of examples. Among the many Democrat amendments to the bill that was submitted when they started out with the Senate immigration legislation. our friend Mr. KENNEDY offered one that would allow illegal immigrants who have worked less than 40 days to be eligible for green cards. The amendment was adopted with the support of 42 Democrats. 41 Republicans opposed it. The Senate legislation included a provision to award Social Security benefits. which I have already talked about. to illegal immigrants. The Republicans offered an amendment to strip this provision from the bill. Mr. KENNEDY led the fight. the Democrats cast their vote. and now. under their bill. we are giving Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants. An amendment sponsored by Senators HARRY REID and TED KENNEDY rejected English as our national language and supplanted a Republican amendment that would have required those seeking citizenship to learn English. And guess what?
