Speech #1100051891

If we cannot eliminate it. at least lets put an end to itput a sunset on it. During the debate yesterday. something fascinating happened. We are told repeatedly on the floor of the Senate that this bill is a piece of legislation that provides border security because most of us know that when you start dealing with immigration. the first step. the first baby step is to provide border security. If you do not do that. all you do is set up. another 10 or 15 years from now. exactly the same debate and provide amnesty for another 10 or 15 million people. We have done that before. In 1986. We have heard exactly the same arguments: We are going to have border security. we are going to have employer sanctions. we are going to shut down illegal immigration. and we are going to have nirvana. The fact is. none of that worked. We have done this before.
