Mr. President. we are indeed a nation of immigrants. We will always have immigrants coming to our country. and they have enriched our Nation in so many different ways. It is time for us. however. to recognize that the policies we have adopted as a Nation are not working: that the law that we as Americans respect so greatly is being made a mockery of: the system is in shambles. and the American people are very concerned about itas they rightly should be. I believe public officials are coming to understand the gravity of the problem after the American people have led them at last to that event. For the last 30 or 40 years. the American people have been right on this subject. They have asked for a lawful system of immigration. They have asked for a system of immigration that serves the interests of the United States of America. And they have expressed continual concern about the illegality that is ongoing. Frankly. the politicians and Government officials have not been worthy of the good and decent instincts and desires of the American people.
