They believe we should do something about it. We say we want to do something about it. but eventually. as time goes along. for one reason or another. little ever seems to occur that actually works. I have stated more than once we can pass a lot of legislation in this Senate dealing with immigration. but if you offer something that will actually work. to actually fix the problem. to actually be effective. we always have much walling and crying and gnashing of teeth. and usually those things dto not become law. Last year. I was very critical of the bill that was offered. I said it was fatally flawed. I said it should be withdrawn and urged my colleagues that if we drafted a bill for this session of Congress it should not be based on last years fatally flawed bill but that we should start over and create a system that would create a genuine temporary worker program. not the flawed program that was there last year. that would move us toward a Canadianbased system where people all over the world could apply to our country. and they would be selected based on their merits and the skills and abilities they bring that would be valuable to our country. I noted that we needed. of course. effective border enforcement as well as workplace enforcement. and we ought not to create a system that gives someone who enters our country illegally every single benefit we give to those who come to the country legally. The legal people do deserve to be treated in a different way than those who come illegally. Now.
