The issues are enormous. This is an enormous issue facing the country. No domestic issue is of greater importance than this one. and we ought to do our utmost to find an answer to it because today. on immigration. we have anarchy. There are people complaining about amnesty. but the 12 million will be here no matter what we do. When we take a look at the specifics. it is not amnesty. There are fines to be paid. there are taxes to be paid. there is English to be learned. there is hard work to be done. and undocumented immigrants are going to have to earn their way to citizenship. They start at the end of the line with a minimum of 8 years and perhaps as long as 13 years. Madam President.
