People who are coming here illegally. other than Mexicans. have been told correctly until recent months that If they are apprehended. they are not going to be put immediately on a plane back to Brazil or the Philippines or wherever they may have come from. They are going to be released on bail. One study showed that 95 percent of the people released on bail under these circumstances dont show up to be deported. Surprise. surprise. You need bed spaces. We have some more bed spaces in our bill. You need more agents--not a huge number of bed spaces and not huge increases in agents. but you need more agents and more bed spaces. You need to multiply the impact and effectiveness of Border Patrol agents by barriers. How much more simple can it be than that. that we have these barriers that multiply the effectiveness of our Border Patrol people? The strategy among those who support this bill that passed the Senatethe KennedyMcCain bill. or whatever we want to call it. which moved through the Senateis that it become law. The strategy is that we will sort of have a conference with the House of Representatives in secret and we will come up with some deal that gives amnesty to everybody who is here. Check the future flow of immigration in the country forever. and we will talk about how to make enforcement work. A lot of people said: Listen. we went through that in 1986. That is what we talked about in 1986.
