But I wouldnt suggest that the Senate wait until midnight and take Senator ALEXANDERS ideas. ram them through. and send them to the House and tell them to pass them with the next Iraq supplemental bill just because we thought of it. I think it would be better to let Senator LIEBERMAN and Senator COLLINS and others consider all of these options very carefully. I think it might be best when we get to the immigration bill and we talk about having an employer identification system. because that is going to be an essential part of the comprehensive immigration bill. Well. if that is the case. then we are probably going to need some kind of work card. If that is the case. we might end up with a secure Social Security card. If that is the case. we might not need REAL ID at all. So that is an even better reason to adopt the Collins amendment. because between now and the expiration of 2 years. we should pass a comprehensive immigration bill here in Congress. In fact. if we dont. we should all be severely criticized. because it is our job to do it. So I urge my colleagues respectfully to look at the Collins amendment and see it as a reasonable approach.
