Since the very beginning of the American experiment. people came from all over this worldmany countries with corrupt governmentswhere the law only applied to some and could be bought by the highest bidder for others. They came to live where the Government respects the individual and where the individual respects the law. From our recent history. we have seen an alarming increase in immigration from people who dont think they have to wait in line or play by our rules. Instead of punishing these people. a few Senators and the administration have crafted a largescale "get out of jail free" pass. No matter what you call itX. Y. or Z visasthis bill will grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants all over this country. My wife and I. our 9 kids. and our 35 grandkids are all descendants of immigrants. Mary and I have taught our family to be grateful for our Nations rich tradition of immigration. But more importantly. we have tried to instill in our family a deep respect of law. Appreciating the contributions the immigrant brings to our Nation does not mean we will surrender the right of our Nation and its citizens to decide who comes here. Like many people in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and all over this Nation. I have serious concerns about an immigration policy that rewards lawbreakers. Is granting amnesty to those who were lucky enough to be born or get to one of our border countries. and enter our country illegally. fair to those potential immigrants who have been waiting in other parts of the world? I wonder what message does rewarding those who willfully break the law send to our Nations young people? What message does it send to the rest of the world?
