I think it is without any exaggeration that they think the House suggestion that we can do it through just security will not work. Our bill. our Senate bill1 am sure they are not going to endorse it but. of course. they think it is better than the House bill by a far measure. Because it appears very clear to me that the President and the majority leader are not going to help us get this conference appointedwe have waited weeks and weeks for a conferenceI hope that we can. when we come back next year. do something about immigration. something serious and substantial. I have not read this document. I have the greatest respect for the people who have come up with this document. and I think we can find a lot of substance in it. We need a bill that combines strong and effective enforcement of our borders. tough sanctions against employers who hire undocumented immigrants. a temporary worker program. and an opportunity for undocumented immigrants currently in this country to have a pathway to legal immigration. They need to work hard. pay their taxes. learn English. and stay out of trouble. Only a combination of these elements will work to get our broken immigration under control. President Bush says he supports comprehensive reform. but he has a strange way of showing it. I heard my friend. who is one of the Senates lawyers.
