They put their name on the list 8 years ago and they have been waiting patiently to be able to come to our country legally. Now they discover that on the floor of the Senate some people put together a plan that says: It is true you waited for 8 years and you are still not here and you may be near the top of the list. but all those who came here through December 31 of last year. we will now declare that they are here legally. What does that say to a lot of people around the world who thought this was on the level. that our immigration quotas were real quotas? If this amendment fails. the one that says lets get rid of the temporary worker provision which will bring millions of additional people into this country at the bottom of the economic ladderif this amendment fails. it doesnt mean we are not going to have immigrant workers. There will be a million and a half who come in legally with the quota system and the relatives and so on. and there will be over a million a year who come in working in agriculture. because this is not about agriculture. You are talking about over 2 million a year. even if my amendment fails. But we are told: No. this amendment has to fail.
