Now we are going to secure the border. But now we are told at this hour. just before the vote on my amendment: Oh. by the way. if we dont provide for temporary workers to call those coming in legal. if we do not do that. they will come in illegally anyway. So. then. where is the border security? Is that a false promise? One of these two options is the case. You either have border security. and people are not going to come here by the hundreds and thousands because they cant. or you have no border security so you have decided we will just name them all legal and call them temporary workers. My colleague cited a Harvard economist. Many of these economists cannot remember their home phone number. and they are giving us their thoughts on what is going to happen 5 years from now.
